Xu Yao, wearing sunglasses, turned back to glance at them. “What are you all staring at? Not used to staying in places like this?”
Everyone suddenly snapped out of their daze, and a girl hurriedly replied, “Used to it! We’re very used to it!”
What a joke, they had only seen such top-tier castles in European fairy tales, how could they have ever stayed in one?
What kind of incredible experience was this?
A group of employees followed Xu Yao, their feet stepping on the red carpet, while a number of maids dressed in matching black and white uniforms rushed towards them at the butler’s signal.
“Ma’am, please allow us to help you with your suitcase.”
Li Xiaoli stared blankly at the foreign-faced maid, whose attitude was exceptionally enthusiastic, and nodded instinctively.
As expected of staying in a magnificent castle—they didn’t even have to carry their own suitcases.
Han Zhao, on the other hand, felt a bit embarrassed and politely declined the maid’s offer to help with his suitcase.
The butler, dressed in a tailcoat, looked unmistakably Western, yet he spoke exceptionally fluent Chinese. “After the renovations, Gries Castle now has a total of 472 rooms. Aside from the main building, Miss Yaoyao allows everyone to choose their own rooms.”
The butler smiled. “I hope you all have a pleasant holiday in Miss Yaoyao’s castle.”
A girl’s voice involuntarily rose, “This is Gries Castle?”
Seeing everyone looking at her, the girl swallowed hard and said with difficulty, “You guys… just take a moment to search online later…”
What are five-star hotels compared to this castle?
What was a presidential suite?! Every room here was bound to be better than a presidential suite!
They had clearly come with over two hundred people, yet the entire castle still had vacant rooms after accommodating all of them, with the castle not even close to being fully occupied.
After receiving permission, Li Xiaoli and a few girls could hardly wait to take out their phones and decisively started a livestream.
There was no helping it; at this moment, their desire to share this with others was truly overwhelming. They just couldn’t stand not showing off!
Li Xiaoli manages all of Xu Yao’s properties in the urban villages of Hai City, and sometimes she would go live to make it easier for out-of-town tenants to choose properties online, so she was quite familiar with livestreaming.
As soon as the livestream started, some fans began to flood in.
[Hahaha, I knew Sister Li wouldn’t just post a video, she had to go live. Come on, let me see what a presidential suite abroad looks like.]
[I just took a shower and lay down in bed: let’s see what kind of dream material Sister Li has prepared for me tonight.]
[Lili, what hotel did Sister Yao arrange for you? I’m studying in Country E.]
Li Xiaoli almost burst out laughing, responding in the chat: [Dear fans, you’re all still too lacking in imagination. We’re staying in a castle, Sister Yao lives in Gries Castle in Country E.]
Question marks flooded the live chat.
C-castle?
With a quick turn of the camera, the massive architectural complex came into view, featuring bright yellow and elegant beige as the main colors, with gray-blue tiled arches and striking red bricks for embellishment. It created a visually striking scene, making it feel like you had stepped into a fairy tale world.
“This is the room I chose.”
Through the camera lens, a room filled with medieval European style came into everyone’s view, with large murals on the walls, European-style tapestries, and various decorative items that offered a glimpse into the lives of European nobility, all seamlessly integrated with modern amenities.
[Holy sh*t, a castle? You’re staying inside a castle? Mom is asking me why I’m kneeling while watching the livestream…]
[Help!!! Xu Yao, isn’t this going too far??? It’s one thing for her to enjoy her wealth personally, but she’s really willing to let her employees stay here too?]
[Waaaah, I didn’t succeed in the interview for Xu Yao Rentals yesterday. The interviewer even comforted me, saying their rental team is actually still just a small company. You call this a small company? Even large state-owned enterprises don’t offer these kinds of benefits, alright?!]
[The entire vacation cost is covered, private jet transfers, and staying in a castle, alright. Thank you, Sister Li, for giving me my dream material for tonight! I’m going to dream of having a divine boss like Xu Yao.]
[Holy crap, it’s actually Griex Castle! Xu Yao is amazing—I’ll only say this once1!]
It was already ten o’clock at night in the country, and many netizens had already washed up and gotten ready for bed, but upon watching this livestream, they instantly felt wide awake.
A castle!
That’s a castle!
While watching Li Xiaoli’s livestream, some netizens opened their browsers to look up the history of this castle, and upon seeing the news, they were left utterly stunned.
Gries Castle was originally the residence of a famous European duke. Not only is it nestled between mountains overlooking the sea, but it is also equipped with a complete moat to fend off invasions. To enter the castle, the guards inside would have to lower the drawbridge to allow for entry.
Famous literary classics all around the world have been written with this castle set as its backdrop, and renowned European fairy tale masters have also drawn inspiration from it.
There are many private estates and castles all over Europe, but only this one is this famous!
What brought this castle back into the global spotlight in modern times was that—
Ten years ago, a wealthy individual anonymously purchased Gries Castle and began an eight-year renovation project. Yes, this tycoon spent hundreds of millions of dollars renovating the entire castle while ensuring it preserved its original style despite the incorporation of various modern amenities.
Countless foreign media outlets had been secretly waiting for this wealthy individual to move in, eager to catch a glimpse of the true identity of this tycoon, only to find that the tycoon seemed to have left it behind, as if he had completely forgotten about it.
So, this is Xu Yao’s private property?
“The butler just told me that you can ride horses and shoot in the castle, oh, and I heard there’s even a shooting range here.” Li Xiaoli continued to livestream as she wandered around the castle.
She walked through the sprawling garden, circled around the enormous Cupid fountain, and by the lake, she saw several female colleagues taking photos. “Here we have a lakeside garden that spans 5 hectares. Wow, the lake is so clean,” she introduced to the camera.
Upon seeing the clear and pristine surface of the lake, countless fishing enthusiasts couldn’t help but turn green with envy; this was definitely a fishing paradise!
“Meimei, can you help me take a few pictures too?” Li Xiaoli asked her colleague.
Xu Yao valued team harmony, and since the entire team collectively rejected the rat race and corporate grinding, the relationships among colleagues were particularly good. The colleague called Meimei readily agreed, “Of course, let’s take a picture together.”
Another female colleague exaggeratedly said, “I haven’t even explored one-tenth of the castle yet, and I’ve already taken over two hundred photos. I don’t even know if my phone will still have enough storage by the time I get back from this vacation.”
Every scenic spot was so picturesque, it seemed like it had just jumped out from a painting!
They were also people who had traveled abroad, having visited many foreign tourist attractions, and they knew not to overly idolize or worship foreign countries, as many were also dirty and chaotic.
But with money, the experience level immediately skyrocketed; the scenery was just too beautiful.
Netizens were completely unable to sleep, and countless viewers got up in the middle of the night to send their resumes to Xu Yao Rentals, clearly provoked by Li Xiaoli’s livestream.
[F*ck, I received offers from both Xu Yao Rentals and a state-owned enterprise, and I was actually still hesitating about which one to choose, I’m so stupid! I’m going to reply to Xu Yao’s HR immediately; I want to join!]
[Trust me, choose Xu Yao Rentals. The state-owned enterprise isn’t as good as you think. If we’re talking about stability, it depends on the staffing quota. The key is that helping Xu Yao collect rent is also a very stable job. Also, I have a feeling that if Xu Yao ever runs into difficulties one day, everyone will come to her aid.]
Other landlords are constantly getting scolded by their tenants all the time, but Xu Yao isn’t!
Some predicted that if Xu Yao ever ran into trouble one day, not only would her employees collectively come to help her, but her tenants would too!
On Twitter, the hashtag #GriesCastleInteriorExposed began trending.
Although very little was known about this castle domestically, many netizens abroad were well aware.
Two years after the castle’s renovation was completed, the identity of its owner was finally revealed—it was Xu Yao, the one who stirred up the global fashion industry from Hua Country!
It’s worth noting that this castle was sold for tens of billions a decade ago, when money was worth much more than it is now.
Xu Yao was only twelve years old ten years ago, so the person who purchased this castle must have been her elder, which indirectly proves—
Xu Yao is indeed a wealthy young lady! Even tycoons have daughters.
For centuries, from their ancestors onward, one thing foreigners deeply recognized is that the wealthy in Hua Country are truly very wealthy.
Those foreign collectors, whose ancestors were bandits and became wealthy by robbing countless cultural relics from Hua Country, also agree with this statement.
Thus, Xu Yao went viral both domestically and internationally once again thanks to her castle, and countless foreign media outlets dug up the purpose of her trip.
Did Xu Yao come to Country E to vacation at her luxurious castle?
NO!
Staying in the castle was just a side quest for her. Xu Yao’s main purpose for coming to Country E was to attend the New Youth Games!
#NewYouthGames trended once again at the top of various domestic and international social media search bars.
The organizing committee of the New Youth Games was ecstatic. Others had no idea just how much money they had spent in order to promote the event, but aside from the domestic audience in Country E, those from surrounding countries continued to show little to no interest in the event at all!
As for places in Asia like Hua Country, the island nation, and Southeast Asian countries, well, that was even less worth mentioning.
Who would have thought that just days before the event, it would suddenly go viral!
Xu Yao, the mysterious owner of the largest private castle in Country E appeared. The fact that this owner, who didn’t even care about the completion of the castle renovation, placed such importance on a competition, immediately attracted a swarm of attention from netizens.
After all, the desire to gossip is universal.
With tears in his eyes, Boris exclaimed, “My God, our ticket sales have skyrocketed compared to before.”
As the ticket sales soared, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigners and their friends enthusiastically high-fived one another. “Old buddy, I have a feeling this New Youth Games will be the most successful one in history.”
They even began to feel incredibly fortunate for having authorized the merchandise for the surrounding Asia region to Xu Yao and her team.
They even speculated that Xu Yao’s grand entrance to Country E to watch the games was just to promote her own merchandise!
Boris picked up a mascot toy from the table. This plush toy was produced by a designated licensed factory in Europe. The green frog had a mouth so big that he found it somewhat lewd; he just couldn’t see the aesthetic appeal in it.
Boris’s mouth twitched, and he spoke with a hint of sympathy, “Oh, I wish Miss Yaoyao good luck with her sales.” It really was too ugly.
Although Xu Yao was a genius at marketing, whether she could take advantage of this trend to sell out the merchandise… Erm, all he could do was wish her good luck.
Many international students who were originally not interested in the New Youth Games bought tickets just to jump on the hype following Xu Yao. With these international students leading the way, foreign netizens also eagerly bought tickets.
Before the opening of the New Youth Games, it received unprecedented attention. Many netizens were speculating over which national team athlete Xu Yao was there to root for, with the participating athletes from Hua Country also gaining attention as a result.
On Twitter, a university student from Country A passionately posted: [—A detailed account of Liu Feiyang, a swimmer representing Hua Country in the New Youth Games, who was expelled from his university during his studies abroad.]
This post detailed how Liu Feiyang, relying on his strong physique, beat up classmates on campus, sending several to the hospital. After refusing to apologize, he was then expelled from the university and forced to return to Hua Country.
The comments below were filled with insults.
[Tsk tsk, are there no other athletes in Hua Country anymore? Can someone with such poor character still participate in international competitions?]
[Do you remember the incident with a certain Hua Country athlete using performance-enhancing drugs? The sports scene in Hua Country has never been clean.]
[Is Liu a school bully? He actually ganged up on someone. He really deserves it.]
A Hua Country netizen who knew how to bypass the Great Firewall couldn’t help but reply: [Ganging up on someone? If I’m not mistaken, this article should be about a group of people beating up Liu Feiyang, right? You call this school bullying? Just who is bullying whom?]
It’s really strange, how could Liu Feiyang beat up several classmates by himself?
Liu Feiyang and his fellow classmates arrived at the New Youth Village a few days earlier than Xu Yao.
Originally confident, Liu Feiyang suddenly felt defeated upon seeing the post on Twitter; he was truly anxious.
“Damn it, these people are despicable, messing with Feiyang’s mindset before the competition!” his fellow classmate cursed.
Liu Feiyang murmured, “I don’t regret beating those beasts. They deserved it.”
He was just filled with anxiety. So many people believed in Xu Yao. If those netizens knew that Xu Yao might be coming to support him, would they be disappointed in Sister Yaoyao?
Liu Feiyang could only keep hypnotizing himself, telling himself that Xu Yao had come to Country E for other athletes, not him.
Huddled in his small room in the New Youth Village, Liu Feiyang looked at the incredibly ugly mascot of the New Youth Games on his desk. He took out a mascot made by his family’s factory from his bag.
There is still a stark difference between ugly and cute-ugly.
This one in his bag was casually handed to him by Xu Yao…
Liu Feiyang stared at the cute-ugly big-mouthed frog, its two silly eyes seemingly staring at him, and suddenly his nose tingled sourly, his eyes turning red.
After all, he was still young, and his mindset wasn’t the most stable.
At that moment, his phone in the bag vibrated, and when Liu Feiyang saw the caller ID, he felt even more flustered.
Oh no, it’s Xu Yao!
When Sister Yaoyao rented the Water Cube to him, she probably didn’t know he had beat people up while studying abroad, right?
Is this call to ask about his situation?
Liu Feiyang frantically tried to reassure himself and muster up his courage. He took a few deep breaths and was about to answer the call, but it was disconnected.
[AAAA Professional Rentals Little Xu: I believe in you, looking forward to seeing you on the New Youth Games stage.]
As a later tenant, Liu Feiyang technically shouldn’t have Xu Yao’s WeChat, but he had been shameless enough to ask Xu Yao for her contact information.
Liu Feiyang’s eyes lit up completely.
It didn’t matter how others viewed him, as long as Xu Yao still believed in him, then everything was fine!
The tall young man, who had just been feeling listless earlier, suddenly straightened his back, overjoyed.
*
Xu Yao certainly knew why Liu Feiyang had fought with that group. After all, he was her tenant, and his private morals were definitely fine.
Xu Yao just hoped this kid’s mindset wouldn’t be affected too much before the competition.
As everyone dined in the castle’s enormous dining hall, many couldn’t help but recall scenes from Harry Potter.
Dining in the ten-meter-high dining hall, filled with European-style decor, was truly a uniquely novel experience.
“Miss Yaoyao, we have run into some issues with our properties in Country E.” He Fan reported after Xu Yao finished her meal.
Xu Yao immediately thought of what Ji Zhengqing had reminded her about and frowned. “What’s wrong?”
He Fan sighed, “According to our property investigations over the past two days, we indeed found several estates being illegally occupied by others.”
The Xu family had too many properties; they couldn’t even manage all of the ones in the country, let alone those that were abroad.
For large properties like Gries Castle, the Xu family still remembered to hire a butler and servants for maintenance, but those small houses in the countryside? They had all but forgotten about them.
“Are you kidding me? Are there people trespassing into other peoples countries abroad too? Didn’t they say private property is sacred and cannot be infringed upon?” The employees dining immediately started to stir.
“Why not call the police? Let them handle it.” Li Xiaoli suggested, putting down her fork with some concern.
Going to the police when a problem arises seems to be the instinctive thinking of all people from Hua Country.
But this isn’t Hua Country.
Xu Yao’s face darkened. The laws abroad are different from those at home. These squatters, after illegally occupying the property, were actually protected by Country E’s laws. It was simply absurd.
Xu Yao called Ji Zhengqing, who should be more family with these matters as his family had been developing abroad for a long time.
“You were right. Several of my family’s properties have been illegally occupied.”
Ji Zhengqing chuckled lightly, his gentle voice comforting her, “Don’t worry, it’s not as troublesome as you think. If you don’t mind, I can arrange for a familiar company to drive them away.”
For ordinary people, dealing with squatters in the properties abroad might be difficult, but it isn’t the same case for the wealthy. Xu Yao felt she not only needed to evict them, but also collect some interest. How could they live in her house for free? Not a chance!
Ji Zhengqing then changed the subject, his voice sounding a bit apologetic, “I’m heading back to my home in Europe; there are still some matters I need to handle there. I might arrive late to watch the competition in a couple of days.”
Xu Yao was initially worried that they would be seen together and photographed on camera, so she was quite happy that Ji Zhengqing would be late.
Xu Yao reminded him, “It’s alright, I’ll arrange for someone to send a piece of clothing over for you to wear when you go to watch the competition.”
After they made their arrangements, Xu Yao instructed He Fan to coordinate with the connections Ji Zhengqing provided.
“Evict all of those who are illegally occupying my family’s properties!” Xu Yao frowned and ordered, “After they leave, make sure to conduct a thorough check in the basements and other places. Don’t let those people with low morals cause any trouble on the properties.”
Xu Yao had watched many foreign movies, and many murders were depicted as happening in cellars and basements, so she wanted to avoid all such possibilities.
He Fan promptly noted down Xu Yao’s requests.

pls do not share this anywhere or u will always stub ur toe when u walk past a door frame !! this translation has been stolen from mioscorner.com, pls only read there i’m begging u :kneels:
The New Youth Games officially began, and this year’s viewership was indeed higher than any previous games.
Unfortunately, fans did not spot Xu Yao during the opening ceremony, nor did they see her during other competitions. Many fans couldn’t help but speculate that Xu Yao might not be interested in the preliminary rounds and would probably only show up for the semifinals or finals.
Among them, swimming was an extremely anticipated traditional sport.
Reportedly, there was a Hua Country swimmer named Liu Feiyang, who had been cancelled on Twitter these past few days.
Is there really no one left in Hua Country? How can such a despicable school bully be allowed to participate in an international competition such as this?
Liu Feiyang and his teammates appeared on the scene, and he was looking around, seemingly searching for someone. He felt a bit anxious inside, unsure if Xu Yao had arrived or not.
Liu Feiyang had been studying in Country A, so he understood their language. A man in the stands stood up and shouted in Country A’s language, “Disgusting bully.”
Liu Feiyang rolled his eyes. Go away, stop blocking him from finding Sister Yaoyao!
The New Youth Games were being broadcast live, although the viewership in the sports livestream was only around a few million.
[This athlete is so arrogant, he just rolled his eyes. Haha, putting everything else aside, I have to say, his mindset is pretty stable.]
[Isn’t he called Liu Feiyang? He’s quite tall and handsome, how could he do something like hitting someone?]
[I also studied at the same university where Liu Feiyang attended. It was obviously Liu Feiyang who stopped those men from harassing girls and ended up getting beaten up himself, okay?]
[Who is he looking for? He keeps looking up at the stands, is he looking for his girlfriend? He should just focus on the competition and let his performance speak for itself.]
Don’t be fooled by Liu Feiyang’s current “negative press is still press” reputation; athletes must rely on their competition results to speak for themselves. Right now, Liu Feiyang is just a rookie without any achievements to his name, and with such a huge public opinion against him, it’s actually detrimental to him.
[I just want to know if Xu Yao has come? She didn’t even show up for the opening ceremony. Is she really here to watch the New Youth Games? She can’t just be here for a vacation, right?]
[Holy crap!! She’s here!]
Just as netizens were discussing whether Xu Yao would come and watch the competition, she arrived, even bringing along with her over two hundred of her employees.
No wonder the prime seats in the stands had been empty—turns out all the tickets were booked by Xu Yao!
“Hahaha, Sister Yao booked us the best seats! These seats must cost tens of thousands, right?” An employee looked around excitedly.
Thinking there would surely be a lot of people in attendance, some of them had even brought a telescope to watch the competition.
But it turns out Xu Yao had booked them the best seats, making the telescope completely unnecessary.
This group of employees waved their small red flags enthusiastically, shouting, “Go Hua Country Swimming Team!”
Nearby, Hua Country international students were not to be outdone, waving the national flag and shouting, “Go Hua Country! You guys are the best!”
Liu Feiyang and his classmates felt a warmth in their hearts upon seeing those familiar faces.
They initially thought the New Youth Games wouldn’t attract much attention, and since they were competing abroad, they wouldn’t be able to see many of their fellow countrymen supporting them in the stands. But who knew that a quarter of the audience was actually Hua Country people!
Having their own people supporting them truly made a difference.
Liu Feiyang noticed that Xu Yao’s employees had all arrived. But had Xu Yao come?
Other netizens were also keeping an eye on Xu Yao’s whereabouts, and she didn’t seem to be with those employees at the best seats.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, “Xu Yao! Sister Yao!”
Liu Feiyang immediately turned to look in the direction of the voice. Above the best seating area, there was a long corridor that was restricted from entry. Xu Yao was standing inside that glass corridor.
This was the top VIP viewing area introduced by the New Youth Games, even more impressive than the best seats in the stand.
Inside the corridor was a complete lounge area comparable to a presidential suite, featuring a large bed, an open kitchen, and a bar. The most crucial part was the huge screen connected to the competition venue’s livestream.
If one didn’t want to watch through the screen, they could step outside through the glass door, and just a few steps outside was a corridor over twenty meters long!
Watching the competition from this glass corridor gave you the best vantage point for viewing the competition!
It offered the best viewing experience while ensuring privacy, even coming with the inclusion of dedicated security measures.
The livestream cameras would not sweep over to capture her on camera without permission!
And Xu Yao had managed to book this place. Since it was rare for a wealthy woman to come out to watch a competition, of course she had to arrange for the best of everything!
Under the camera, Xu Yao’s slightly curled long hair draped over her shoulders as she leaned gently against the glass viewing area, smiling and waving at the crowd.
The fans on site erupted in excited cheers, with the entire venue filled with voices shouting “Xu Yao,” “Sister Yao, I want to help you collect rent!”
Xu Yao sighed. How did she still have so many fans even after retiring?
[My goodness, Xu Yao is really going all out as a rich woman, she even has her own private viewing area.]
[I thought the prime seats were already impressive enough, but Xu Yao can actually manage to occupy a viewing area meant for dozens of people all by herself. The wealthy woman is impressive.]
[She arranged the prime seats in the stands for her employees while she herself took the top private viewing area, this is simply a plot straight out of an ultra wealthy aristocratic family novel, haha.]
[Are you all focused on how impressive the prime seats are? Shouldn’t you be more concerned about who Xu Yao is here to cheer for? She didn’t even come for any of the other previous events, including the opening ceremony.]
[Let’s rule out Liu Feiyang first. Xu Yao values character highly, so she probably wouldn’t support someone who has beat someone up.]
Netizens both domestically and internationally were stunned by Xu Yao’s display of sheer extravagance. Apparently, there was only one of these top-tier viewing areas in the entire venue…
Still, many felt that Xu Yao’s actions were justified; after all, she was abroad, and the personal safety of a wealthy woman was very important.
Lu Ye stood at the far left of the glass corridor with his hands behind his back, vigilantly observing the surroundings, while several bodyguards in black were present to protect her throughout.
This venue was crowded with people, and they had to ensure Xu Yao’s safety.
“Where’s the outfit I ordered?” Xu Yao put down her lemonade and turned back to ask He Fan, “Did you bring it?”
He Fan immediately replied, “Yes, I brought it.”
This was an outfit Xu Yao had custom-ordered before going abroad, collaborating with a wholesale T-shirt vendor from Xinyi Trade City. She ordered eight hundred sets in one go, giving each employee three sets in case they wanted to switch things up.
You can always trust in the efficiency of Xinyi Trade City. Once the style was finalized, the vendor worked like they were on steroids, and within a few days, everything was ready. Moreover, at Xu Yao’s request, the quality of the T-shirts was excellent, made entirely out of cotton.
Xu Yao took out her own piece, which was very simple. It was a bright red T-shirt with a few motivational Chinese characters printed on it.
Xu Yao stepped into the changing room, changed into a T-shirt, and walked out. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt that the way she was dressed finally matched the atmosphere needed when watching a competition.
Xu Yao tied her hair up into a refreshing high ponytail and even had He Fan and Lu Ye change into their own specially customized T-shirts. Only then did she walk out through the glass door again.
Xu Yao picked up the megaphone prepared just for her and leaned over the glass viewing platform, shouting, “Go, go Liu Feiyang! Hua Country on top!”
This megaphone was a perk for wealthy spectators at the New Youth Games. As long as it was used, the sound would echo throughout the venue, allowing every spectator to hear it, and Xu Yao took full advantage of it.
Xu Yao’s voice instantly echoed throughout the entire New Youth Games stadium.
As soon as Xu Yao finished speaking, over two hundred of Xu Yao’s employees sitting in the prime seats in the stands responded in unison. They quickly changed into Xu Yao’s specially ordered bright red T-shirts and shouted at the top of their lungs, “Go, go, Liu Feiyang! Hua Country on top!”
Viewers watching the livestream were stunned: !!
What the hell?! What kind of operation is this?
The name “Liu Feiyang” echoed throughout the venue, and Xu Yao’s level of extravagance raised their understanding to another level. Is this the benefit of being a wealthy lady?
The viewers in the livestream went wild, with the number of online viewers skyrocketing after Xu Yao appeared. The barrage immediately filled the screen with “666.”
[Holy crap, the competition hasn’t even started yet, but Liu Feiyang’s name has already spread throughout the entire venue, omg.]
[Is this the joy that comes from watching a match as a rich lady? Isn’t this just like buying a world announcement in a game?]
[I heard this perk is exclusive to those who reserved the VIP viewing area, so to those foreigners, no need to be envious! You can also learn from Sister Yao and book such top-tier seats to get a megaphone for the whole venue, haha, this level of prestige is just too impressive.]
[Why don’t foreign tycoons learn how to show off properly from Xu Yao? Is it simply because they don’t want to? (jk)]
A person from Country A at the scene was so angry that his eyes turned red, continuously shouting, “Where are our own country’s rich people? Come out and support our athletes!”
The other wealthy people from Country A lowered their heads. They initially thought they were already impressive enough for snagging the prime spots in the stands, but it turned out that this New Youth Games even arranged for such perks for spectators who had bought seats in the VIP viewing area!
Those Country A tycoons who were originally eager to compete with Xu Yao fell silent after checking the prices for the VIP viewing area.
Forget it, let the Hua Country people show off.
[Are there any brothers or sisters who can bypass the Great Firewall? Now we can confidently take on those little bastards from Country A! They’ve been cursing Liu Feiyang for days, and now, even Xu Yao has come out in support of him. This kid can’t possibly be in the wrong.]
[Xu Yao is supporting him, so there must be nothing wrong with Liu Feiyang. I’m going to use a VPN right now. Go Liu Feiyang!]
The post made by the Country A university student was written with great seriousness and included pictures, making it seem as if Liu Feiyang had really hit someone. Many Hua Country netizens who felt uncomfortable about the post wanted to refute the claims but hesitated.
They couldn’t just be biased and help their own citizens without reason, right? Wouldn’t that just give the people of Country A ammunition to mock them?
But now it was different, and Xu Yao had personally stepped in!
It was evident how much Xu Yao cared about character.
Liu Feiyang was definitely fine, so it was that group of people who got beaten that were the problem. A group of online trash-talking experts was watching the match while preparing to “go on an expedition” on foreign networks!
Liu Feiyang was making his final preparations before the match when he suddenly heard Xu Yao’s voice cheering for him echoing throughout the venue.
Wearing swim trunks and swimming goggles on his head, Liu Feiyang looked towards the VIP viewing area under the gazes of thousands. A girl in a bright red T-shirt with a neat high ponytail was holding a megaphone that exuded an air of wealth, smiling at him.
Liu Feiyang’s nose turned slightly red, and his eyes felt warm with moisture.
Xu Yao was cheering for him, and her voice had been heard all over the world.
Xu Yao had come from afar to support him, and the entire nation was now cheering him on.
The heart of the young man, who was not yet twenty, felt like it was surging with hot passion. This burning blood seemed to unleash Liu Feiyang’s hidden potential, and he pumped his fists high in the air.
Liu Feiyang’s mindset underwent an unprecedented change. He didn’t come to the New Youth Games to test the waters as a rookie, to be a mere participant, or to just coast alongside others.
Liu Feiyang looked at the empty space above him. He wanted the red national flag to be raised high, and for the national anthem to ring out throughout the venue!
He wanted the world to know his name, not just because of Xu Yao!
Xu Yao smiled. Starting today, another figure would soon emerge in the international swimming scene.
He Fan gently reminded her, “Miss Yaoyao, President Ji has arrived.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao handed the megaphone to He Fan and turned to walk inside, where she indeed saw Ji Zhengqing at the entrance.
The tall and handsome man was wearing a bright red T-shirt, striding towards her. The atmosphere felt very vibrant with him in that passionate T-shirt.
Ji Zhengqing looked at her, also in the same bright red T-shirt, and his lips curved into a smile that never left his lips. “Yaoyao, I really like the T-shirt you had someone specially send over to me.”
He knew this T-shirt was specially ordered to cheer for the Hua Country athletes, but… he and Xu Yao were wearing the same one, as if there was some other hidden meaning behind it.
So, could this be considered as them wearing matching couple outfits?
It wasn’t until Lu Ye walked out of the glass corridor, also wearing the same red T-shirt that Ji Zhengqing raised an eyebrow. “How come you’re wearing this T-shirt too?”
Lu Ye frowned. “Everyone has one.”
Ji Zhengqing: …? Everyone has one?
