Signing In For Eight Years, I Was Exposed As A Zillionaire!-Chapter 436 - Invitation

436 Invitation
In the end, he had no choice but to sneak back to this room and close the soundproof door. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

Hence, he entered the bathroom and took a beautiful hot shower. When he returned to bed and was about to sleep, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Ye Xuan picked it up and saw that it was a message from Liu Yun’s father, Liu Haikang, the CEO of the Liu Corporation.

[Chairman Ye, we have a banquet here tomorrow. Do you want to come and play?]

Ye Xuan thought about it. Since he had nothing to do, he replied with an [Okay].

Then, he sent Liu Yanran a message and asked her to come over tomorrow morning. Then, he fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning.

Ye Xuan got up and took a shower. After eating a few mouthfuls of breakfast made by his Fourth Sister Ye Chan, he slipped away.

As soon as he went out, she saw Liu Yanran and the Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended edition.

Then, he got into the car and set off. After driving for about 20 minutes, they arrived at the hotel where Liu Haikang was holding the banquet.

Liu Yanran dropped Ye Xuan off at the entrance of the hotel and drove the car to the underground parking lot. After all, it was a little conspicuous to place this Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended edition at the entrance of the hotel.

Ye Xuan observed the hotel. Seeing that no one was coming to pick him up, he didn’t mind and walked in.

Meanwhile.

Fifth Sister Ye Fei just passed by. She narrowed her eyes and watched as a young man entered the hotel.
She felt like the figure was similar to Ye Xuan, but it didn’t feel like it.

For a moment, she couldn’t figure it out. She muttered.

“Is that my Little Brother? He looks like him.”

After some thought, she walked over and planned to see what was going on.

In the end, she lost him as soon as she walked over.

…

Meanwhile.

There were several private rooms upstairs. They were luxuriously decorated and spacious.

At the side of each private room was a chess room that was connected to each other. It was for people to drink tea, enjoy entertainment, and rest for a while.

Ye Xuan strolled leisurely and looked around. The private rooms here were already full, and the chess room was very lively.

They were all open, so he could see the situation inside clearly.

After taking a few steps, Ye Xuan saw the private room where Liu Haikang and the rest were. Then, he walked in.

Meanwhile, in Liu Haikang’s private room.

The group of CEOs originally thought that Ye Xuan would take a while to arrive. After all, there was still quite some time before the meal.

Therefore, they were not in a hurry and prepared to go down to welcome Ye Xuan later.

Taking advantage of this free time, Liu Haikang took out his Go set and started playing with an old man.

After dozens of rounds, their expressions changed from relaxed and happy to frowning in deep thought.

They were hesitant about their moves.

The others surrounded the two of them and focused on the game between Liu Haikang and the old man. They did not say a word.

They didn’t even notice that Ye Xuan had slipped in at this moment.

When Ye Xuan saw Liu Haikang playing Go with someone, he moved closer to the crowd and looked at the board with interest.

Liu Haikang muttered something, but he only moved his mouth without making a sound.

From the looks of it, he seemed to be calculating the next step, or even the next few steps, as well as the other party’s future path.

His face was filled with worry, and his eyes were deep in thought. Although he raised his hand that was holding the black piece high, it did not land for a long time.

It was obvious that this game of Go had put him in a difficult position and he could not make up his mind.

Meanwhile, the old man’s methods were extremely powerful. They were all offensive methods, but he did not give Liu Haikang any chance to attack. He kept launching encirclements and suppression. It was a rather ruthless method.

It looked like Liu Haikang had almost successfully surrounded and killed all the old man’s troops, leaving only a few paths of survival. Even if they could escape, they could only pant at the corners and could not achieve anything big.

However, the white pieces outside Liu Haikang’s black pieces seemed to be in a mess. In the end, the old man placed a few pieces down and immediately connected one-third of the route, creating a chance of survival.

The chessboard also changed drastically in an instant. In the blink of an eye, a portion of Liu Haikang’s troops that had surrounded the old man had become lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

It was like a war in ancient times. They were supposed to send a team of troops to encircle and annihilate a prefecture capital, but in the end, they were completely wiped out and became the enemy’s troops.

Seeing the sudden expansion of the white piece faction, Liu Haikang became even more nervous.

There were still two armies of white pieces outside. If the old man connected them, it would be really troublesome.

Fortunately, he still had the strength to fight. As long as he killed the white pieces outside, the wild soldiers would be killed by him. With just the main force, the white pieces could not defeat the black pieces.

Liu Haikang also noticed this. At the same time, he became even more vigilant against many other scattered pawns who could not even form an army and did not affect him much.

With the old man’s chess skills, it was very easy for those forces that did not have much influence to suddenly become comparable to the main army.

Therefore, he had to be wary.

Meanwhile, when the surrounding people saw the exciting game between the two of them, they also noticed the profundity and praised them.

“President Liu is indeed the best at Go among us. If it were me, I would probably fall into his trap in an instant with such a good advantage.”

“President Liu is indeed powerful. He can even play like this when facing a national player. Not only does he have the strength to fight, but he also has the advantage of winning. Brilliant, indeed brilliant.”

“I really didn’t notice. Just now, I thought that he would chase after his enemy while he was winning. Now, it seems that I was really stupid. If he chased after the enemy for a few steps, the national champion would cut his army from the middle with a few moves. It would be a heavy loss.”

“Indeed, or rather, President Liu has a tight grasp of the overall situation. He almost lost another army.”

All the CEOs nodded and praised him. Then, they looked at the old man opposite Liu Haikang and discussed the situation softly.

“As expected of a national Go player. He’s really amazing. He’s controlling everything step by step. Not only is he good at placing pieces, but he can also set up several traps.”

“Indeed. It looks like he didn’t notice and gave up on some small faction chess pieces, but in the end, he deliberately set them up to lure President Liu into the trap so that he could pull a string for the overall situation.”

“It’s really terrifying. Every step is under control. The layout is so strong that the pieces are all deeply mysterious and important. Every piece has the possibility of becoming the main force. It’s amazing, it’s really amazing.”

“Or rather, a national player is a national player. He’s really professional, but President Liu is indeed amazing to be able to do this.”

“If it were me, I would probably lose after a few moves from this national champion. I can’t understand it. There are too many traps. If I’m not careful, I’ll be tricked and lose the entire game.”

…

Ye Xuan looked at the chessboard and narrowed his eyes. He had a rough understanding of their strength.

At the same time, he also understood the division of power and the outcome on the chessboard. The two of them were almost a few levels apart. To be able to play like this, Liu Haikang was indeed something.

However, the outcome was already decided, so there was no need to play anymore. Hence, Ye Xuan sighed and spoke to Liu Haikang.

“You can’t do anything. President Liu, give up.”

Only then did everyone notice Ye Xuan’s presence.

For a moment, they were stunned. Then, their faces were filled with shock.

Their eyes widened and their mouths opened slightly. The entire chess room instantly fell silent. After a few breaths, everyone reacted and hurriedly apologized.

“Chairman Ye, I’m really sorry that I didn’t pick you up.”

“You didn’t even tell us that you were here. We thought that you would be a little late, so we were prepared to pick you up later. We didn’t expect you to come up directly. Aiya, I’m really sorry.”

“I’m sorry for not coming out to welcome you, Chairman Ye. I’ve really neglected you.”

“I just saw that President Liu played Go too well with a national player and neglected Chairman Ye. I hope Chairman Ye can forgive me.”

“I was really rude, Chairman Ye. Please forgive me.”
