C17 Unable to Sing

Lee Feilong had extended an invitation to Su Ruoqing alone.

Yet, Su Ruoqing arrived with Ye Kai in tow.

This greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

The looks on their faces were sour; they were in utter disbelief.

To the crowd, the closeness between Su Ruoqing and Ye Kai was nothing short of astonishing.

Did Su Ruoqing already have a boyfriend?

All eyes turned to Lee Feilong.

They were well aware of the kind of man their boss was. Lee Feilong was a formidable figure, and as a self-made entrepreneur, he was known for his ruthlessness.

Under no circumstances would Lee Feilong forgive such an act.

Su Ruoqing had brought a man, and they were arm in arm – it was as if she was openly challenging Lee Feilong.

As expected, Lee Feilong's face contorted with displeasure as Su Ruoqing and Ye Kai entered hand in hand.

His eyes were icy.

Sensing Lee Feilong's mood, everyone present fell into an uneasy silence.

They understood what his look signified: Lee Feilong was thoroughly furious.

However, Lee Feilong was someone who typically kept his emotions in check. Despite his visible anger, he managed to conceal it quickly, replacing it with a cold smirk.

"Miss Su Ruoqing, you've finally arrived," Lee Feilong stated with gravity.

Su Ruoqing's expression was awkward, her hands clutching Ye Kai's even tighter, a clear sign of her anxiety.

It was evident that Lee Feilong's presence was weighing heavily on her.

Ye Kai, on the other hand, offered a slight, composed smile.

Regardless of the pressure Lee Feilong might exert on Su Ruoqing, it had no bearing on Ye Kai. Having accompanied Su Ruoqing, he was unfazed by the tension.

Su Ruoqing nodded, her discomfort palpable.

Lee Feilong swiftly shifted the conversation, gesturing towards Ye Kai, "Miss Su Ruoqing, who might this gentleman be?"

Lee Feilong inquired with earnestness.

Before Su Ruoqing could muster a response, Ye Kai interjected, "I'm Ruoqing's boyfriend!"

His tone was firm, his demeanor anything but apologetic.

Lee Feilong was livid, feeling as if his soul was on the verge of leaving his body.

He was deeply frustrated! After all, he was the chairman of the Flying Dragon Group, and he considered himself to be quite handsome and commanding in presence.

When he looked at Ye Kai, he saw nothing more than a seemingly impoverished young man. Despite Ye Kai's clean appearance, there was nothing particularly remarkable about him.

Lee Feilong was convinced that he was vastly superior to Ye Kai.

He had been courting Su Ruoqing for a long time without success, and he was shocked to learn that she had chosen Ye Kai as her boyfriend. This left Lee Feilong feeling extremely disgruntled.

It was almost as if he was questioning the very essence of his life.

"You... do you have any idea where this young man hails from?"

Lee Feilong's voice quivered as he spoke.

He struggled to contain his fury.

Lee Feilong was a man of caution. Despite his deep-seated loathing for Ye Kai, he refrained from making any rash comments until he could ascertain Ye Kai's background.

Should Ye Kai turn out to be the scion of a prominent family, the situation could become perilous. As the head of Flying Dragon Company, Lee Feilong was not among the elite.

If Ye Kai indeed belonged to a powerful family, Lee Feilong wouldn't dare make a move. Therefore, he needed to get to the bottom of things.

Upon hearing Lee Feilong's inquiry, Ye Kai simply offered a serene smile.

He was a person of great composure and was not one to spout falsehoods. In reality, Ye Kai never lied, and he certainly had no clue about Lee Feilong's significance.

Ye Kai disclosed his identity without hesitation.

"I'm an intern at Qingqing Company!"

The revelation of Ye Kai's status left everyone in the room utterly astonished. They could hardly believe their ears that Ye Kai was merely an intern.

The looks on their faces were a mix of disbelief and disdain.

They all stared at Ye Kai, taken aback by the audacity of an intern to be so bold. It sent a shiver down their spines.

A wave of mocking laughter spread through the crowd.

Lee Feilong, too, let his guard down.

He had been apprehensive that Ye Kai might be the heir to a significant corporation, a prospect that Lee Feilong greatly feared. But to discover that Ye Kai was nothing more than an intern brought a smirk to Lee Feilong's face, his expression oozing with scorn.

To Lee Feilong, Ye Kai's identity was practically a joke.

A look of contempt was evident on his face, yet in this situation, Lee Feilong refrained from any impulsive actions. As the esteemed head of the Flying Dragon Group, he approached everything with a strategic plan.

Lee Feilong was not one to make hasty moves.

A cold smirk crossed Ye Kai's face.

He understood all too well the implications of the moment.

"Well then, please have a seat," Lee Feilong offered.

Hand in hand, Ye Kai and Su Ruoqing took their seats, their closeness sending a chill through Lee Feilong's heart.

Lee Feilong clapped his hands enthusiastically.

"Let's sing. Since we're gathered here today, why don't we have a little singing competition?" he suggested.

At his words, the crowd voiced their support.

Being Lee Feilong's subordinates, they were quick to echo his sentiments.

Lee Feilong stood, beaming at Ye Kai.

"Young man, what do you say?"

Su Ruoqing gave Ye Kai a discreet pinch.

Her concern was palpable; she feared Lee Feilong might be plotting something.

Meanwhile, Ye Kai's expression soured.

The voice of the system had just echoed in his mind.

"Temporary mission: Accept Lee Feilong's challenge to win 200,000 in cash and 50 bonus points! Failure will result in the loss of all points. To aid in your victory over Lee Feilong, you are granted one lottery draw. Would you like to draw now?"

The system's voice prompted.

"Draw now!"

Without hesitation, Ye Kai opted for the lottery.

The lottery wheel spun rapidly before coming to a halt, its pointer landing on a specific spot.

"King of Karaoke System. The protagonist has acquired the King of Karaoke System for three hours, granting the ability to perfectly imitate the vocal styles of all major singers worldwide!"

"Is this for real?"

Ye Kai was astounded by the system's offering, which was beyond his wildest expectations.

Armed with this system, Ye Kai was sure to outclass Lee Feilong.
