8 Saints

During the past 7 years, Zhou Qinyang had decided not only to heal herself but to heal other people too. She had set up a private organization called Saints where they collect and donate funds to the people in need like women, victims, the poor and many more. Even though the organization does good deeds, there were times where illegal methods had been used. But Qinyang didn't care as long as it helped those who are in need.

Very few know about the organization; only high social standing people and elites know about it. They get invited personally to attend a party and an auction party.

One of the members involved is Luciel. He helps Zhou Qinyang gather potential members for the organization. It was convenient for him to do so because he is the best hacker in the underworld. Whenever they have something to discuss, the members always use voice calls or video calls for meetings about the organization.

---------------------

Qinyang clicked her tongue in annoyance at Luciel for making crunching noises over the phone call. "Luciel Wang! Could you please stop eating those crackers? We are in the middle of a discussion here."

"I have to agree with Xiao Yang. It's seriously annoying," a stern female voice said.

The one who just spoke is Lu Weiwei, the sole daughter of the current president of the Lu Corporation. The Lu family runs the corporation and is one of the top 5 business companies in China. They are as influential as the Lee family. Presently, Lu Weiwei is the CEO of the Lu Corporation, but soon, she will take over her father's position.

Luciel pouted. "You ladies don't know how to appreciate the beautiful taste of the AMAZING Salty Banana and Bacon Chips! Hey, AJ! You gotta admit it's good right?"

A muffled sleepy deep voice answered sweetly, "I haven't eaten the packet you sent me, so I don't know. Honestly, even without tasting it, the name already sounds disgusting."

"Luciel, you gotta listen to me and start eating healthy normal food," a cute male voice agreed.

"I don't want to hear that from you, Huang Jian. Someone who eats cup noodles 24/7 isn't considered very healthy as well." Luciel shot back.

AJ and Qin Huang Jian are also members of Saints. AJ is an A-list celebrity while Huang Jian is a top player in the esports industry.

AJ is actually a stage name and his real name is Ahn Qiaofu, a Korean-Chinese breed. He was born in South Korea but moved to China during middle school. His extraordinary looks; talent in singing, dancing, and acting made him who he is today. Every year, he wins Artist of the Year and Actor of the Year. He is known for his carefree and flirty personality that stole every girl's hearts.

Qin Huangjian, the son of a famous national footballer. Sadly, he didn't follow his father's footsteps. Instead of picking up the ball to play football, he picked up a game console and played football there. Behind his innocent look and aloof personality is an IQ 150 genius! People don't look at how many wins he has but how he plays the match. His nickname in the esports industry is the Qin Strategist.

"The pot calling the kettle black. Can we stop this pointless argument? Don't waste my precious time, I don't have all day," a harsh cold tone voices out in the midst of the argument.

"Sure, then keep your lady in check." Luciel sighed.

Qinyang massaged her forehead. "Haojie has a point. We're all busy and it's not easy for all of us to be available today."

Liu Haojie is also the CEO of one of the top 5 business companies in China, Liu Technologies. They develop and make the best computers and software programs in China. It's so advanced that countries like America, Japan, and Germany are willing to pay billions of RMB for it. His straightforward and trustworthy attitude when doing business makes his clients trust his decisions. Interesting fact, Liu Haojie, and Lu Wei Wei were childhood sweethearts and are currently engaged.

The three boys felt guilty and apologized.

"Weiwei, I have prepared the guestlist for the party and have sent the email to you. Keep in mind that there are a few more guests that have yet to reply. I will update it once I received their replies."

"Alright. I've gone over the inventory list for auction with Ah Jie and sent you an email just now. Ah Fu, have you book the place? Is it expensive?" Weiwei asked.

Qiaofu cheerfully replied, "I did. It was expensive at first but with my handsome looks, they gave me a discount. It's within the budget."

Luciel clicked his tongue. "Narcissist. Ah Jian and I managed to buy a few authentic artifacts for the auction. They were really generous...''

Hearing his sarcastic tone, Weiwei asked, "They asked you for a high price?"

"More than the original price. Ten times you know. Unbelievable. They thought they could get away with it." Huang Jian let out a fake laugh.

Luciel whistled. "Man... the money in their Swiss account can buy me another five limited edition sports car. So I threatened to hack their bank account."

After going over a few more things, the sun started to set.

"That concludes our meeting today. I will keep in touch." Qinyang looked at the evening sky.

"Wait. I have a bit more time before my next match. Let's chat. It's been so long since we had a chat." Huang Jian's words caught their attention.

Feeling that everyone seemed to have agreed, Qiaofu decided to tease Qinyang. "I heard Xiao Yang's going for an interview in a corporation. Our leader is finally leaving the nest!"

Even though they all don't see each other often, they were updated with each other's lives. Especially when Luciel's such a blabbermouth.

Luciel suddenly sneezed. "Xiao Yang, please don't curse me."

"You told them? I told you not too! And what nest are you talking about?!" Qinyang somehow knew this topic would be brought up one way or another.

"Why not? It's a big deal!" Huangjian said.

Qiaofu laughed. "You are so cute when you are angry, Xiao Yang."

"Which corporation will you be interviewing for?" Wei Wei asked.

"Lee Corporation. Honestly, why does that name sound so familiar to me?" Qinyang replied.

Huangjian gasped. "You don't know them?! Xiao Yang… you should really get out of the house. It really seems that you have been living under a rock or what? Lee Corporation is the top business company in the Asian market, they are even the top 3 in the world! I heard that their boss is quite young."

"It's a good company. You will be fine there." Even the usual picky Haojie agreed.

The lively atmosphere then became quiet as Qinyang remained silent for quite a while.

Haojie then said, "Qinyang, if it is too much for you. Just quit."

"Shouldn't you be encouraging her?" Luciel laughed even though he didn't disagree with Haojie's statement.

"Yes, yes! If it is hard, your brother AJ will give you a hug and a kiss!" Qiaofu started making kissing sounds over the phone.

"Ew... Ignore him, Qinyang. If you are having a hard time, just come over and we'll play a few rounds of Mario Kart to de-stress!" Huangjian said.

Weiwei then said, "Qinyang. You know whatever it is, we got your back."

Qinyang smiled hearing her close friends worrying about her. "I know."

'Even if the whole world turns their back against me, you guys won't.'
