Chapter 332: Chapter 335

Chapter 335 For five whole years, these tycoons helped her to take care of Tiffany’s doings, all while they made sure Charmine stayed under the radar.

As she learned under their tutelage, she managed to exceed the abilities of her own tutors. Shocked by her progress, they treated her as a rare pearl on the palm-adoring and pampering her.

Charmine noted how the four elderly men looked like they wanted to fight one another, thus she quickly dispersed the tension by changing the subject. “Alright, alright, I gave you water without any particular order. No point fighting over it! Why did you come looking for me again? I’m going to sleep if you keep fighting.”

With that, she turned and was ready to walk upstairs.

The four men stopped fighting and quickly stopped her from leaving. “Charmine, you can’t sleep yet. Something’s up, and you need to solve it!”

Charmine sat on the sofa, her expression puzzled. “What is it?”

“Since you started planning to come home, you haven’t cared about us for a long time. My Esports team lost terribly in this international tournament. The team from Kansas was being arrogant, and they mocked us for losing the match!

“Charmine, I don’t care how busy you are, cause you have to take some time out and help me fight a duel with their team leader!

Make us proud!” said Uncle Larry excitedly.

On the other hand, Uncle Max interrupted, “The Esports industry is unimportant; you losing doesn’t mean much of anything. The most important thing now is infrastructure ! Now that every country wants to build the tallest building to take over the Khalifa, we have to contend as well!”

“What are you all so anxious about? The international Go tournament is starting next month, and the Germans said their robots would win over our players! It’d be so embarrassing if we lose!”

“Those are nothing! The newly developed 7-series aircraft in Denmark is going autopilot! We’re way behind!”

Everything sounded like chaos in Charmine’s ears. Did she not just return for around two months? Why had so many things happened already?

Also, with so many things going on, she would need some time to solve them all together...

“Calm down,” Charmine chimed in. “We’ll solve them one by one, alright?”

“Okay, okay! Solve mine first!”

“Mine first!”

“No! Solve mine first!”

Charmine could barely form a word at the sight of them arguing.

The four of them broke into a fight again, and Charmine might not sleep if it continued.

She found four pieces of paper and wrote down numbers from 1 to 4 on them. Once she crumpled them into balls, she put them in her palm and said, “Have your pick, your number will determine your order.”

“This is a smart idea! Our little Charmine is the smartest!” Uncle Larry praised.

Charmine shook the papers and tossed them on the table.

Quickly, the four elderly men broke into yet another fight over the papers: Uncle Larry of Esports got the first number, followed by Uncle Max and the infrastructure issue, then Uncle Zul of Go Association, followed by Uncle Pop of scientific research.

Uncle Pop fell back on the sofa, deflated.

Charmine comforted, “The scientific research field is the most time-consuming of all, and it’ll take more than ten years anyway!

Once I’m done with the rest, I’ll have all my time to research with you, alright?”

“Alright. You promised!” Uncle Pop was instantly cheered up.

Charmine’s words, however, dismayed Uncle Larry. “So what you’re saying is that I was placed as the first one because mine is the least important?”

“Of course not! This is to make our country proud, it’s not a small matter at all! Don’t worry, I’ll make you proud tonight,” coaxed Charmine.

Since she was less likely to sleep, Charmine could play a few games.

Uncle Larry pulled at Charmine’s arm and dragged her upstairs to the computer room. “Hurry, hurry! Let’s go! Let’s start the game right away! I want Uji Quin to lose so badly! Let’s show them that we’re not some losers!”

The other three old men liked to watch Charmine play as well. While Uncle Zul, Uncle Max, and Uncle Pop hated gaming, they found it rather entertaining when Charmine could complete her kills.

With that, the four elderly men stood by Charmine’s side to watch her play.

Charmine had forgotten about her previous username and password, so she used the new username she logged in with back at Bailey mansion: Boss.

A young lady who used such a name! “Nice!” said Uncle Larry. “I like the name!”
