Chapter 970: Provoking a Big Boss Even More Terrifying Than Ji Yun (2)

Kreitch’s heart skipped a beat. “President Ji…”

Ji Yun took a deep breath and didn’t let Kreitch finish. “Kreitch Stahl, you are fired. Pack your things and leave immediately!”

Kreitch staggered, unable to believe what he was hearing. “President Ji?!”

“Immediately, now, don’t make me repeat myself,” Ji Yun said coldly, already dialing another number. “Revoke Kreitch Stahl’s position as executive director. This is my order. Announce it publicly across all platforms within three minutes.”

The public relations department, startled by Ji Yun’s icy tone, didn’t dare to ask questions and promptly began the process.

With a “thud,” Kreitch collapsed back to the ground, his ears ringing and his vision darkening.

What was going on?!

“Sorry,” Ji Yun said, taking a sip of water before speaking apologetically. “This was my oversight.”

“It’s not your fault,” Si Fuqing replied nonchalantly. “If it had been your decision, we would need to have a serious discussion.”

Ji Yun’s mouth twitched. “I don’t think that’s necessary.”

“Alright, take him away,” Si Fuqing waved her hand dismissively. “I need to get back to discussing strategies. We haven’t even placed our bets for tomorrow’s match yet.”

“My ancestor, please stop betting,” Ji Yun felt a headache coming on. “You’ve already won so much that the bookmakers are in tears.”

Only someone like Si Fuqing would manipulate bets with such precision.

No other team player would dare, given the unpredictable nature of the matches and the potential for even small mistakes to turn the tide.

But Si Fuqing dared.

She crushed her opponents with absolute power.

“I didn’t bet on the last match,” Si Fuqing reassured him. “There’s only one final left, and I’ve made you a lot of ticket money. By the end of the year, you might even surpass the top spot on the rich list.”

Ji Yun: “…”

He couldn’t argue with that.

But compared to the top miner from the Free State, he was still a pauper.

Ji Yun shot a cold glance at the trembling Kreitch and called someone to take him away.

The entire process was swift, taking less than an hour.

After Ji Yun left, the training room remained silent.

Jiang Changfeng leaned back, pressing his hand against his forehead, indicating that he was in standby mode.

Finally, one of the team members stammered, “Miss Si, your relationship with President Ji…”

“Oh,” Si Fuqing stroked her chin, “currently a good father-son relationship.”

Team member: “???”

Little Bai, lying on the table, yawned.

Its owner was claiming another son again.

Fortunately, it was the only well-behaved daughter.

“To deal with people like him, you need a stronger backing,” Si Fuqing took out a blank piece of paper. “Alright, let’s continue discussing our strategy for tomorrow.”

Making money was the key.

**

As the audience eagerly awaited the final showdown, an announcement appeared in the public eye.

[@OracleOfficialV: After investigation, Kreitch Stahl has engaged in activities severely detrimental to Oracle. He is hereby dismissed and permanently banned from all accounts, never to be reinstated!

We solemnly declare that Oracle stands firmly against any form of match-fixing. Esports is about fair competition!]

This announcement was posted on major social media platforms worldwide, with the official website releasing it in multiple languages simultaneously.

The entire international community was stunned.

In the history of OPL, teams caught engaging in match-fixing had all been permanently banned from participating.

The esports community despised match-fixing, as it disrespected both opponents and spectators.

[What’s going on? Kreitch has been with Oracle for seven or eight years. Fired just like that?]

[What did Kreitch do to provoke President Ji? Only President Ji has the authority to fire someone directly.]

[The Five States team recently expelled a member and mentioned match-fixing. Guys, I have a bold guess.]

[Conspiracy theory: Did Kreitch bribe that team member to frame the Five States team for match-fixing? If true, that’s despicable!]

Netizens, modern-day Sherlocks, quickly pieced together the entire story.

Some were surprised that Oracle didn’t protect Kreitch, given his significant power. It seemed like bad luck that Ji Yun caught him.

But Kreitch knew it wasn’t just bad luck; it was Si Fuqing’s call that brought Ji Yun, directly sealing his fate.

The chain reaction was so swift that Kreitch couldn’t even process it.

Kreitch couldn’t understand how, after contributing so much to Oracle and keeping it as the top global 3D online game, Ji Yun could fire him over a minor issue.

Even if there are no achievements, there is still hard work

Wouldn’t this demoralize other long-time employees?

Seething with rage, Kreitch couldn’t contain himself. “President Ji, you can’t do this to me! How can you fire me over a spokesperson? The Five States team is fine. Why take it this far?”

Ji Yun paused, turning back.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Kreitch took a deep breath. “President Ji, I know you despise match-fixing. It was a moment of madness on my part. I can change. Can’t we just let this slide?”

“Let it slide? Just for a spokesperson?” Ji Yun sneered. “Ten of the twenty-four professions in Oracle’s Eastern and Western factions were created by her. The Oracle firewall was also built by her. Without her firewall, Oracle’s system would have been breached long ago.”

“And you think, as an executive director, she can’t take you on?”
