Chapter 11

Ye Xiu arrived at the training room in less than 5 minutes. Everyone is doing their own training with an occasional chatting. He could even hear some badmouthing from Zhang Jiale and Fang Rui as usual. He walked toward his table in front and stared at them. None of them noticed his presence, even if one or two noticed him, they didn't pay him any attention and instead focused on their game. As if Ye Xiu is a fly that usually frequented the training room.

Ye Xiu's eyebrows twitched.

Knock, knock sounds were soon echoed in the room. Those who didn't wear headset heard them quite well. They turned to look at Ye Xiu with various expressions. Those that wore headset immediately noticed that the others were looking at Ye Xiu, they took off theirs and looked at Ye Xiu too. Seeing Ye Xiu's hand was formed into a fist, his knuckles are touching the table, they already guessed that he had been knocking on the table.

It needs to be known that Ye Xiu rarely knocks on the table if he wanted to draw their attention. There is an announcement system installed on their computer, and he can directly send them an announcement from his computer. The occasion that he does the knocking, is when he is pissed or not in a good mood.

It really did happen a few times before.

Same as today, he knocked on the table. With the same calm expression. No one knew how much rage he had behind his calm demeanor, but on those days, his tongue was even sharper than usual, and his eyes were piercing directly to every single one of them as he harshly criticized them. He didn't even give them time to defend themselves. As soon as they wanted to talk back, he would first cut their words and spouted even more critiques.

That was the day when everyone finally realized Ye Xiu's real capability in putting a poker face throughout any emotion. Don't see how calm he is on the outside, once he already found his victims, he would lash out until you are hoping to crawl into a hole and hide.

That time, the whole meeting lasted four hours long.

That was the most exhausting meeting they ever get. Not to mention, Ye Xiu added some other exercises as part of their training regime. He claimed that it is to enhance their skills. As if they need another addition of body exercise to increase their gaming skills. They knew that it's his way of punishing them. And he also has the absolute power to do that.

They know that it's within his right to do so, but the whole incident left a bad taste in their mouths.

After that, they avoided annoying him for some time until they deemed he is back to normal again. Even then, they avoid annoying him too much and have been paying particular attention to his speech and action.

A knocking-the-table action is a red flag. Now the red flag has been raised.

It left them confused. What ticked him off?

They looked at him warily.

Ye Xiu saw that he had managed to draw their attention to him. "Go to the meeting room, I expect all of you to be there by 4.30 p.m.," he said. Immediately afterward, he walked out of the room without any other explanation.

All those that currently present in the room's brains went blank. What's this situation? Is he angry? Or is he normal?

Yu Wenzhou was the first one to regain his composure. He glanced at his watch. It's already 4.22 p.m., so there are only 8 minutes left. "We had better go quickly." He said while logging out from the game. The others followed suit.

After turning off the computer, one by one immediately rushed to the meeting room. There are less than 5 minutes left. There is no guarantee that Ye Xiu is in the right state of mind at the moment.

It'll take them another few years to know that Ye Xiu knocking action is because he just can't be bothered to turn on his computer. So he did the easiest way to gather their attention and that is to knock on his table. After all, he dislikes the need to talk loudly. Calling someone in the noisy training room, won't it hurt his throat instead?
