After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

They are all senior members of the company. The group's success today is largely attributed to their support.

Moreover, these people control a significant portion of shares. Should they withdraw their shares at the same time, the group could face a crisis.

For Tong Ming to agree so easily was, to a certain extent, akin to suicide.

At first, Chen Yu didn't understand, but after giving it some thought, he quickly grasped the key issue.

It is currently a critical period for cooperation with the Childe Family, part of which is directly completed with the Childe Family.

In other words, if these people suddenly withdraw their shares, the Childe Family will fill these vacancies in the shortest time possible.

Moreover, with Chen Yu's adjustment, the Childe Family could only get shares and not voting rights.

That is to say, no matter whether these people withdraw their shares or not, the ultimate profit for Tong Ming and the entire group, as well as control over the group, would not change at all.

The old man suddenly panicked—having been with the group for so many years, he naturally knew Tong Ming's temperament.

Withdrawing shares now could indeed bring many benefits, but whether he could securely receive the money after withdrawing was another matter.

"Since you've already proposed it, let's sign the contract then!"

Tong Ming directly took out a contract from the folder beside him and handed it over.

The old man's eyes widened in surprise; he hadn't expected Tong Ming to have prepared the contract in advance.

Chen Yu leaned to one side, remaining silent, already thinking about how to fill the void left by these people's shares.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense; the old man who had just been adamant about withdrawing his shares seemed somewhat guilty.

Chen Yu cleared his throat, "Dad, I'll be going then."

Just as he was about to leave, Tong Ming suddenly called him back and handed him a file folder.

"There's a match over here, go have a look. You will take over these business aspects in the future."

Without even looking, Chen Yu agreed right away and turned to leave the room.

It was only after he got into his car that he realized the folder contained information about an esports team.

Although esports might seem like just a derivative industry of gaming on the surface, a closer study reveals it harbors a business worth tens of trillions.

Not to mention the vast fan base generated by the gaming industry, the traffic brought by the games themselves can create millions of job opportunities out of thin air.

The Tong Group had tapped into this business a long time ago and had made significant progress in recent years, boasting no less than six teams.

After briefly reviewing the contents of the contract, Chen Yu drove straight to an esports venue.

There was an internal competition happening in the imperial capital during these days, and one of the teams was from Tong Group.

But when he arrived, the scene was somewhat chaotic.

The team's rest area was a complete mess, with the coach pacing back and forth, breathing rapidly.

"What on earth is going on? Why did this have to happen now? He's an essential player."

The remaining team members sat in silence, unsure of what to say, letting the coach continue his rant.

"What's the issue?" Chen Yu pushed the door and entered the room, a trace of impatience on his face.

"Who are you?" snapped the coach, preparing to push him out.

Chen Yu quickly took out the ID badge that Tong Ming had given him.

The coach said nothing more but sat down dejectedly to one side.

"Boss Chen, don't blame me for losing my temper, the game is about to start and our key player has vanished!"

Chen Yu had already reviewed the game and team information; he was well-informed about all the details.

The team's key player seemed to be Mao Xiaolong, who managed to win the MVP for best performance in every match he participated in.

A player like that, no matter where they are, is held in high esteem.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Over the years, countless people had wanted to poach him.

Now, with only three minutes left before the start of the game, the supporting player had disappeared too; there was only one explanation—Mao Xiaolong had been poached!

"Don't we have a substitute player?" asked Chen Yu instinctively.

The coach sighed deeply, "We do, but no one is stronger than Mao Xiaolong for that position, and we need him to set the pace for the entire game. Now that he's gone, our initial rhythm is disrupted."

Chen Yu was silent for a while before standing up.

"I'll take his position for today's match, and I'll be responsible for the outcome, win or lose!"

The coach immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Chen Yu was the team's owner, and it wasn't unheard of for owners to personally enter the fray in the esports arena.

If the match was lost, Chen Yu would take on all the responsibility, so they needn't be afraid.

But if they won, it could serve as a publicity stunt to generate buzz for Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, since you're going to play, you better change quickly; there's less than two minutes left," said the coach.

Without saying much more, Chen Yu changed his clothes and joined the team on the stage.

Just when they took their seats in the arena, all the spotlights suddenly focused on the opposing team's bench.

To everyone's surprise, Mao Xiaolong was sitting there, his face alight with excitement.

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown—he had only thought the guy had been poached, not that he would betray them at the last moment.

The venue instantly erupted into turmoil, with all eyes on Mao Xiaolong.

As an esports player with his own following, especially one so talented, that shift in focus was inevitable.

Fans who originally supported the Tong Family team began discarding their placards and switched to personal support signs for Mao Xiaolong.

One could imagine that in this industry, there is no such thing as betrayal; as soon as a player makes a choice, the fans will follow suit.

In this era of influencer culture, such incidents are no longer rare.

Chen Yu took a moment to adjust his breathing and placed his fingers on the keyboard, his mind recalling every detail about the competition.

He had enjoyed playing games during his university days and had even taken part in community competitions.

Now, with his physical abilities at the peak of human capacity and the aid of the system, playing a game should be a breeze.

"Mr. Chen, are you ready?" The coach asked worriedly from the side.

Chen Yu nodded and entered the game.

The host was delivering an excited speech on the stage, but all his topics revolved around Mao Xiaolong.

As if his act of defection was a fearless deed.

At the same time, many sneered at Chen Yu.

They believed Chen Yu's participation was an act of masochism—an owner with no experience in esports would soon be beaten so badly that he'd be crying for his father and mother, and the game might even end prematurely.
