Chapter 41 Lin Rui’s nephew!

"Dear audience, welcome back to the first Jianghai Elite Cup Challenge!"

"Next, we will have the 16-to-8 match!"

"Like the previous matches, the 16 to 8 competition adopts a 2v2 mode where two players are randomly selected to play against each other."

"Without further ado, please follow me to watch the grouping on the big screen!"

As the host Qian Duoduo finished speaking, the big screen began to jump.

A moment later, the grouping was announced.

Lin Rui found his opponent on the big screen, an older uncle.

Lin Rui remembered him. When he was in the 32 to 16 group, he used Cat Boss and Nidoking.

Both Pokémon are at the peak level of level 30 Lords, especially Nidoking, which has quasi-king-level qualifications and has extremely powerful strength.

Afterwards, Lin Rui looked at the opponent Zhang Qi drew, who was also a powerful trainer.

Sun Zihan, who owns the starter water Pokémon Squirtle.

"Now, please welcome the two trainers for the first round of 16 to 8."

"On the left side of the battlefield is Lin Rui, a talented young man who made it to the top 18 in his first Pokémon battle at the age of 16!"

"On the other side is Ruan Hongsheng, the chairman of Hongsheng Group, who is old but young at heart, and has both strength and luck!"

Hongsheng Group, Ruan Hongsheng?

After hearing the host's introduction, Lin Rui was stunned. Isn't Ruan Hongsheng the boss of his father's company? Why did he come to participate in the competition?

auditorium.

Zhang Chunmei opened her mouth wide, pointed at Ruan Hongsheng in surprise and said, "Honey, isn't this your boss?"

Lin Zhiguo nodded, looking a little nervous.

When he watched the game before, he felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't see clearly because the distance was too far.

Now after hearing the host's introduction, he realized that his boss had also come to participate in the competition.

At this moment, amid the cheers of the audience, the elevator on the battlefield slowly rose.

Lin Rui and Ruan Hongsheng appeared on both sides of the battlefield.

Ruan Hongsheng looked at the energetic Lin Rui opposite him, with a slight smile on his face.

Just as the host Qian Duoduo said, the reason he was able to make it into the top 16 was not only due to his own strength but also a bit of luck.

But this luck does not come out of thin air.

Instead, before every game, he would use his strong background to investigate his opponent.

As early as after the list of the top 16 was released, he asked someone to investigate the background of all the players.

Lin Rui, 18 years old, is a senior high school student at Jianghai No. Middle School.

I've been a Pokémon trainer for less than a month.

The initial Pokémon was Magikarp, which was nurtured into Gyarados within a month.

The second Pokémon was the starter Pokémon, Charmeleon, which was captured in a Novice Realm and also bred into Charmeleon in less than a month.

Ruan Hongsheng thought of Lin Rui's information and couldn't help but sigh that today's young people are really amazing.

But he felt that he had a greater chance of winning if he met Lin Rui.

Because during the investigation he discovered that Lin Rui's father Lin Zhiguo was actually a grassroots employee of his company.

He has worked diligently in the company for more than 20 years and is still working on the front line.

He believed that as long as he helped Lin Zhiguo get promoted as a condition, it would be reasonable for him to let his son Lin Rui give him some slack.

Thinking of this, Ruan Hongsheng smiled and shouted to Lin Rui.

"Nephew Lin Rui, your father Lin Zhiguo and I are colleagues, so don't be too harsh when you hit me."

When Lin Rui heard Ruan Hongsheng calling him nephew, he was very upset.

"Mr. Ruan, you are the president of Hongsheng Group, and my father is just an ordinary employee of Hongsheng Group. It's a bit far-fetched for you to call me nephew!" Lin Rui said sarcastically.

However, Ruan Hongsheng was able to found such a large Hongsheng Group, so he was no ordinary person. He immediately continued, "Well, that's right. Our Hongsheng is a big family, and every employee of Hongsheng is my family. So it's not wrong to call you nephew."

Hearing this, Lin Rui frowned. This Ruan Hongsheng is really shameless.

He has been in this world for three years, and during these three years he has heard his father complain about the company's leaders at home more than once.

Especially Ruan Hongsheng, who was the one Lin Zhiguo complained about the most.

When asking employees to work overtime, tell them to treat the company as their home.

After raising funds, he told his employees, "You treat this as your home."

A typical double standard dog!

Seeing that Lin Rui didn't respond, Ruan Hongsheng smiled and said, "Nephew Lin Rui, I know your father has been working in the company for more than 8 years and is still at the grassroots level. Don't worry, after I advance to the top , I will go back and tell the HR department to promote your father."

Although Ruan Hongsheng did not explicitly ask Lin Rui to let him go, the meaning of his words was very clear.

If he advances to the top 8, Lin Zhiguo will be promoted.

Otherwise, the consequences can be imagined.

Smart people would naturally understand the meaning of Ruan Hongsheng's words, and it was impossible for Lin Rui not to understand it.

At this time, in the audience.

Xiao Yun frowned and said, "I didn't expect that Ruan Hongsheng would be such a person."

Zhang Chunmei glanced at Lin Zhiguo, whose face was ashen, and didn't know how to comfort him.

Lin Zhiguo clenched his fists, looked at Lin Rui on the battlefield, and shouted loudly without any hesitation.

"Son, don't worry about dad, just beat him however you want!"

"Dad!"

Lin Rui nodded in the direction of Lin Zhiguo, and then said to the referee with a sly smile: "Report to the referee, Ruan Hongsheng intends to fix the game, I request that he be disqualified immediately."

[Ding! Negative emotions from Ruan Hongsheng, +199! ]

Ruan Hongsheng thought that if he could get Lin Zhiguo out of the game, he would have a sure win.

Who knew that this kid Lin Rui would not play by the rules.

It would have been fine if he had not cared about his father's job, but he actually reported him to the referee.

The key point is that the referee was looking at him at this moment.

Ruan Hongsheng quickly explained: "Referee, don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't mean that."

The referee was certainly not stupid and naturally knew what Ruan Hongsheng meant by what he had just said.

But Ruan Hongsheng's words were very clever, and he did not explicitly say that he wanted Lin Rui to fix the match, so he chose to turn a blind eye.

However, since Lin Rui reported it in public, he can't just pretend nothing happened.

"Contestant Ruan Hongsheng, this is a warning. If this happens again, you will be disqualified from the competition."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Ruan Hongsheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and replied.

When he looked up at Lin Rui, he saw Lin Rui with a sly smile on his face.

"Damn you little brat, just wait for me!" Ruan Hongsheng said in his heart.

[Ding! Negative emotions from Ruan Hongsheng, +299! ]

Seeing that the negative emotion value had only increased by less than 500 points, Lin Rui curled his lips and muttered to himself.

"It's just this little, how stingy!"
