Chapter 49
He Xiaoxu wanted to have a meeting again.
He wanted to convene everyone to have a good discussion about what kind of position should be arranged for Qi Zui, a non-staff member of HOG.
"So that he won't have nothing to do all day to bring his own rhythm!" He Xiaoxu collapsed, "The forum and Weibo are all discussing him! He is sick!!! The manager of the Knights just called me to complain! Say! He! Qi Zui! The Knights have to suspend training! Get together! Listen to him tell the story of Youth from the past! Is he crazy?!"
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, it didn't take long for me to get my driver's license, and you shouted that my hands were shaking." Simba, the only one who didn't drink, wiped his sweat nervously and held on to the steering wheel, "Qi team is busy, right? Suddenly rested, Not suitable for..."
"Is he taking revenge on me?" He Xiaoxu slapped Bu Nana's thigh angrily, "Just because I didn't let him be the coach of the first team, he took revenge on me? He went to Hongkou to ask! Did you cause it?!"
"Don't mess with it, don't mess with it, calm down..." Bu Na made He Xiaoxu's legs numb, gritted his teeth and endured, "He wants to be a coach for the first team?"
"Yeah, to put it bluntly! I just want to teach Youth!" He Xiaoxu rolled his eyes, "I don't know him anymore? With a coach, it's different."
Bu Na rescued his fat legs with difficulty, rubbed his thighs in distress, and said, "I wish, I wish to hear the details."
He Xiaoxu sneered: "He has always disapproved of Youth's training for so many hours a day, and he has always wanted Lao Lai to cancel Youth's extra training. Lao Lai and Youth disagreed, so they put it on hold. When he becomes a coach, it doesn't matter. Minutes to deal with it?"
Lao Kai was ashamed to hear the words: "Youth lost points in the snowy Hanbok solo queue, but I was drinking and singing in the clubhouse's sunshine..."
"Shut up!" He Xiaoxu hadn't finished speaking, "Forget it, what about the usual punishment? Youth is usually yelled at by Lao Lai when he makes mistakes in practice matches. What about when Qi Zui becomes a coach?! The training room on the third floor. Become a training room avi in โโno time? After a training match, Qi Zui will record Youthโs mistakes next to him, right? Iโve already thought about the post-match review for him! Tongue kiss once, pectoral muscle touch once for gun failure..."
Bu Na shyly covered his face and gently pushed He Xiaoxu, almost pushing him out of the car.
The more He Xiaoxu thought about it, the more he felt that Qi Zui was taking revenge on him. Because he drank a little wine, he felt even more sorrowful in his heart, and said miserably, "Why is my life so hard? Youth is a good cash cow. Qi Zui has been ruined, I originally thought that I could eat Qi Zui in the first half of my life and Yu Yang in the second half of my life, and have no worries about prosperity, wealth, wealth, food and clothing all my life..."
Along the way, He Xiaoxu lamented that the world is impermanent and things have changed. After returning to the base, he couldn't lift his eyelids, and was carried into the room by Lai Hua.
Before entering the room, he also met Qi Zui, who was killed by God.
Qi Zui whistled, "Are you two going to come out too?"
"Go away!" Lai Hua, a straight man of steel, turned black and red, "He scolded you all the way, and fell asleep from exhaustion!"
Qi Zui knew that he was right and couldn't help laughing: "We are not idle. When we had dinner just now, I sorted out the materials for the youth trainees for you, and everyone's individual guidance has been made."
Lai Hua said angrily: "It's a little conscience."
"You've all been drinking, and you won't be able to get up tomorrow morning. Why don't you just take another half-day off." Qi Zui was very talkative, "Don't let He Xiaoxu follow you in tomorrow's activities, I'll just go."
Lai Hua doesn't have so much fuss, so he thinks it's quite appropriate, and nodded: "Okay, then I won't wake He Xiaoxu up tomorrow, let him sleep, you can go with Youth."
Qi Zui smiled with satisfaction.
At eight o'clock the next morning, after the alarm went off, Yu Yang got up quickly, washed and dried his hair, tied it up, put on a new team uniform, packed some necessities, went out and got into the car.
The driver waited early and greeted Yu Yang when he saw him.
Yu Yang looked around: "Where's Manager He?"
"I don't know wow." The driver was also very strange, "Tell me the day before yesterday that the car will be ready before 8 o'clock today to pick you up for activities. It's almost 8:30, and I haven't seen him... He's usually not late. ."
Yu Yang was about to call He Xiaoxu when the base door opened.
Yu Yang was stunned.
Qi Zui was wearing the season's new Fendi suit and stepped on Gucci's new leather shoes, and walked out while arranging the cufflinks.
Qi Zui got into the car, "Let's go."
Yu Yang swallowed, "Manager He..."
"Oh, he drank too much yesterday, please ask me to do it for him." Qi Zui said calmly, "I'll take you to the event for a day as the manager... What's wrong? Can't you?"
"No!" Yu Yang hurriedly shook his head, "Very good."
Qi Zui seldom dresses so gracefully, Yu Yang couldn't help but glance sideways at him from time to time, and couldn't help thinking in his heart, it's not unreasonable that Qi Zui's wives are bigger than others.
How can this man be so handsome?
Yu Yang didn't want to be a nympho, so he cleared his throat and said nothing: "The script I showed me before was a bit rough, so I clearly stated the time and place, and nothing else was introduced in detail. Today... what is the event?"
Qi Zui was stunned for a moment, he didn't know either.
Qi Zui smiled: "Secret, surprise."
After arriving at the venue, it was the makeup session as usual, Yu Yangqi Zui declined the makeup artist and waited aside.
Other teams came one after another, TGC, Knights, Wolves, FIRE, Lioness...
They are all teams that participated in the Asian Invitational Tournament before.
Everyone was surprised to see Qi Zui, except Hua Luo who refused to be in the same frame with Qi Zui, everyone else came to say hello.
Ye Huo smiled at Yang: "Yo, team leader... I was the youngest leader in the circle before you. There are talented people in Jiangshan. It's nineteen years old...it's scary."
Yu Yang and Yehuo punched each other and said lightly, "You're welcome."
The manager of Yehuo grabbed him to do makeup, and others were called away by his manager one after another. When everyone was gone, Zhou Feng walked over alone.
"Please take care of me." Qi Zui smiled at Zhou Feng, "This is our new captain, Youth."
Zhou Duba nodded and said hello.
Zhou Feng looked at Qi Zui, hesitated a little, then looked at Yu Yang again, hesitating to say anything.
Qi Zui smiled: "If you have something to say, just say it."
"If I remember correctly..." Zhou Feng said solemnly, "Apollo is one of your sponsors, right?"
Qi Zui nodded.
Apollo, a first-line peripheral brand in China, has sponsored HOG for three consecutive years, and is considered a major sponsor.
Zhou Feng's tone was calm: "Since it is your sponsor and it is also within the contract period, why did you suddenly contact our team?"
Yu Yang's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Zhou Feng sternly.
Qi Zui paused and smiled: "It's normal, you should be happy, the sponsors think TGC has more prospects."
"I'm not joking with you, I don't care about sponsoring these things, and I'm not interested." Zhou Feng said lightly, "Let me know in advance and leave."
Qi Zui patted Zhou Feng on the shoulder and smiled: "Drink together another day."
As Zhou Feng walked away, the smile on Qi Zui's face gradually faded.
Yu Yang was quiet for a while, then said, "Does the sponsor think that I'm too different from you?"
"What nonsense." Qi Zui smiled, "E-sports star, the nineteen-year-old who broke the record, you said you can't?"
Yu Yang shook his head: "At the Asian Invitational Tournament...you ranked first, Zhou Feng was third, and I was fourth."
Qi Zui laughed, "It's just a competition, as long as it's a competition, it's random, what does it mean?"
"But our strength is that we need competition to show it." Yu Yang lowered his eyes, "I'm too far behind you... and I can't compare to TGC's Zhou Feng."
Without waiting for Qi Zui's comfort, Yu Yang asked again, "How many sponsors does Apollo account for in the team?"
Qi Zui was dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, he said, "Fifty percent."
Yu Yang tilted his head to look at the Apollo embroidered seal on his left shoulder, and was speechless for a while.
Half of the sponsorship will soon be gone.
Many people outside call HOG a group of young masters, not only because Qi Zui and Bu Na are rich and willing to spend money, but also because He Xiaoxu was born to lose money.
The benefits of the team are so good, it was won by the right hand of God from generation to generation, and it was won by the sponsors who were eager to spend it.
There are currently six sponsor logos embroidered on the HOG team jersey, and it will not be long before one will be removed.
The other few... Yu Yang was not optimistic either.
Qi Zui had already retired, and this was just the beginning.
Without Drunk's HOG, it is no longer favored by others.
Yu Yang took a deep breath. He had also heard Qi Zui and the others joke about the Knights team. Now HOG is also making jokes a lot, laughing at themselves that they held hands on the road to withering, but the joke was just a joke, Yu Yang didn't feel it, and now the main sponsor Shang is about to support other teams, and the fact of withering is really in front of him.
HOG, which was the first in all aspects, has already been replaced by TGC.
"These are things that I and He Xiaoxu and the other high-level executives have to consider. It has nothing to do with you. You just need to train hard." Qi Zui raised his hand and touched Yu Yang's face frivolously, then smiled, "Captain, your responsibility is to lead the team well. Improve your grades...don't put pressure on yourself that you shouldn't have."
Yu Yang has a heavy heart, he was able to hide such a big thing as Xu Dawei before, Qi Zui was really worried about him, and couldn't help but say: "It's normal to change sponsors, don't underestimate He Xiaoxu, he is quite capable of tossing, Without Apollo, there would be something else..."
"When Coach Lai retired..." Yu Yang raised his eyes and looked at Qi Zui, "Are there any sponsors withdrawing funds?"
Qi Zui was silent.
Qi Zui couldn't lie, so he shook his head after a moment of silence: "No, I was already a star professional player at that time, and the commercial value was enough to support the operation of the entire team."
Yu Yang understood, Qi Zui could do it back then, but he can't now.
Qi Zui tried his best to keep his voice soft, "But I was older than you and debuted earlier, I..."
"I will work hard."
Qi Zui was taken aback.
"It doesn't matter if Apollo doesn't sponsor, the others..." Yu Yang looked at the logo on his body and said solemnly, "It's okay to leave..."
"Without the sponsor logo on the jersey, it's gone."
"It's okay if the team's welfare is poor, I could have endured hardships."
"I will work hard... with Bu Nana, with Lao Kai, with Simba... The youth training will also be watching."
Yu Yang clumsily and bluntly comforted Qi Zui: "I won't let HOG really wither, how you survived at that time, I will survive it."
Qi Zui looked at Yu Yang in disbelief.
Yu Yang is this... is he comforting himself in turn?
"Even if there is no logo on our team uniform in the future, it doesn't matter. As long as I still have the team logo and national flag of our team, I can play."
