[Full-time][Ye Xiang] lead by example

Chapter 9

Sun Xiang did not appear in this chapter!

In addition, Su Mucheng's contract with Excellent Era ended in the ninth season of the original book, and this is set to be the eighth season. I forgot to add ORZ here...

23

At the end of the eighth regular season, Excellent Era ranked last, completely disqualified from competing for this season's championship.

But compared to the crisis of relegation before... the fans gritted their teeth angrily and breathed a sigh of relief: at least the only dynasty has not fallen to the point of relegation, it's okay...

What a ghost!

Tao Xuan was very angry.

He single-handedly drove away Ye Xiu and brought in Sun Xiang, but what happened?Not as good as the previous two seasons!

When the boss is angry, someone in the club will suffer.

He was going to discuss with Thunder about introducing Xiao Shiqin and selling Liu Hao.

Yes, and He Ming, this guy didn't perform very well this season.

Tao Xuan thought.

He still has vision—isn't Excellent Era just Sun Xiangdu who can't do it in the team competition?It doesn't matter, I'll get another master tactician after I leave!

Tao Xuan aimed at Xiao Shiqin who was the easiest to pry.

But his plan ran aground.

Because... he's in trouble.

After the championship battle of the eighth season came to an end, a piece of news became the biggest hot topic—"The former Glory Fighting God became an Internet cafe administrator after retiring? !Is it the coldness of Excellent Era or the end of God of War! "The title occupies the front page of this issue of the e-sports home, a relatively serious e-sports media.

Excellent Era and Ye Qiu have a ten-year unchanging contract, Excellent Era's boss drives Ye Qiu away and forces God of Fighting to retire and even tells the manager to humiliate him as a "partner training", God of Fighting is forced to...

All these things that were very unfavorable to Tao Xuan were revealed overnight.

Tao Xuan stared at the "Excellent Era staff" who stood up to testify in the reports, and felt ridiculous for a moment—there was actually the former Excellent Era manager Cui Li who was actually there!

Tao Xuan, who fell into a passive position, was struggling with Excellent Era's public relations, and he didn't even have a chance to walk into Cui Li's office and tell him that you were fired to relax - Cui Li had just resigned the day before the report came out.

Shit, so that's why he's running without even last month's salary? !

Tao Xuan was furious.

But he is still relatively calm at the moment.Because Excellent Era was still in his hands, even if the public relations crisis was troublesome, it could be resolved.

Until he realizes someone is up against him.

——Excellent Era's sponsors terminated contracts with Excellent Era one after another, and employees in the club resigned on a large scale... Even the various public relations methods that Excellent Era used to whitewash Tao Xuan were attacked by unknown opponents.

Under the double blow of financial crisis and public opinion attack, Tao Xuan couldn't hold on anymore.

Most importantly, someone conveyed to him the meaning of the people behind the scenes who suppressed him: sell Excellent Era, and let you go.

Tao Xuan didn't know how much energy the other party had against him, but even with what he's shown now... as long as the other party insists on biting him, he might end up with nothing.

This was something Tao Xuan couldn't afford to gamble - he spent so much time, energy and even money, not just to end up poor and for nothing!

So he expressed that he was willing to cooperate in selling Excellent Era, but... at least let him know who was targeting him.

The strange thing is that this request, which might have aroused the other party's anger, was agreed by the other party.

Then Tao Xuan saw a face in the video that was almost exactly the same as his former captain.

After figuring out who the other party was, Tao Xuan suppressed his anger and pain, expressed his willingness to give up the ownership of Excellent Era, and said goodbye very politely in view of the financial resources, power, and interpersonal relationship between the two, and turned off the video.

Three minutes later, Tao Xuan wearing a peaked cap appeared in Xingxin Internet Cafe.

Ye Xiu, who was forcibly brought back to Excellent Era, felt rather baffled.

After he was dragged into the meeting room by Tao Xuan, watched the other party close the door and window to ensure soundproofing, and then drew the curtains even though it was daytime and insisted on turning on the fluorescent lights, Ye Xiu didn't understand what Tao Xuan wanted to do.

"You lied to me so hard..."

Before Ye Xiu opened his mouth, Tao Xuan came up with a sentence that was enough to confuse people.

Coupled with Tao Xuan's expression, it was full of resentment.

Ye Xiu: "...Tao... Uh, old Tao, you are the one who took me away?"

He originally wanted to call Boss Tao politely, but looking at this dissatisfaction and anger that was not clearly written on his face as in the previous two seasons—even if the expression on it was still not very beautiful—Ye Xiu still felt a little nervous. Relentless.

So he chose a name that was familiar to both of them.

Obviously, Tao Xuan was also a little stunned.

But he also recovered quickly.

"But you didn't tell me about your family...your family background is so prominent!"

With a bit of exaggeration, Ye Xiu heard genuine dissatisfaction.

"I prefer to start from scratch, not to be the second generation of incompetent people."

Ye Xiu put on Tao Xuan's familiar subtle smile and said to him.

"Then pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?"

"...To be reasonable, I've been messed up badly by you, right?"

Tao Xuan looked at Ye Xiu who was pretending to be stupid and teasing him, feeling both heartbroken and nostalgic.

The relationship between him and Ye Xiu hadn't been this peaceful for a long time.

Captain Excellent Era, who is clearly telling the truth but can always make people jump in anger, has no barriers in communicating with him, and Ye Xiu, who is sometimes a little sloppy on purpose - or "Ye Qiu" - has not seen him in private for a long time look like.

"You just can't say it first, do you?"

"Ye Xiu... I didn't know until today that you are not Ye Qiu, but Ye Xiu."

Tao Xuan put away the slightly exaggerated performance before.

Ye Xiu: "..."

"sorry."

Ye Xiu subconsciously reached for the cigarette case in his pocket, stretched his hand halfway, and stopped abruptly.

"I didn't—I didn't think so much about it at first."

"I started playing Glory after I ran away from home, so when I joined the league, I used my brother Ye Qiu's ID card that I got back home. Later... Later, it was not easy to change the name back, and my family's side……"

Ye Xiu made a gesture of spreading his hands: "Not using my own name is also a kind of protection."

Tao Xuan pushed the transparent ashtray on the table: "Is it because you don't have your real name, so you don't want to participate in business activities? Oh, maybe there is also a reason why you are more willing to keep a low profile? ——In view of your... well, family background background."

"But why don't you want to talk to me?"

Tao Xuan asked Ye Xiu, but he seemed to suddenly become interested in the transparent ashtray, without raising his head.

"At first, I didn't think it was necessary, and I didn't think too much about it—I just thought I could handle it. Then...what do you want me to say, Old Tao?"

"I never thought we'd get to where we are today."

Ye Xiu said.

Tao Xuan raised his head suddenly.

"……Do not."

"There's nothing wrong with what you said."

He retracted his hand and poked the phone instead, as if this action would provide him with infinite courage.

Ye Xiu was right.

Very early on—maybe the fourth or fifth season—he began to be dissatisfied with Ye Xiu.

He was unlikely to believe Ye Xiu's words unless Ye Xiu gave him the most authentic evidence.

But considering what Ye Xiu said about running away from home, combined with Ye Xiu's performance at that meeting... I am afraid that Ye Xiu was still in a stalemate with his family at that time, and could not give the strongest evidence that Tao Xuan wanted.

Although Tao Xuan felt that if he knew this at the beginning, even if he doubted it, he would not do many things, but ah...

It is not the fault of one person to get to where we are today.

The deepest and biggest conflict between them will break out sooner or later.

"I gave up our initial insistence first. To put it bluntly, I'm not right either."

Tao Xuan tilted his head.

He is a businessman.

Even if there was a passion for throwing all his wealth into Glory at the beginning, besides the love for Glory, his optimism about the prospect of Glory is not trivial.

He is not Ye Xiu.

If I don't part ways with Ye Xiu...

That would have required the Ye family to inject funds into Excellent Era early and even buy Excellent Era like today, and Ye Xiu had to cooperate with the business activities from the very beginning.

This is not realistic.

Tao Xuan took a deep breath.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to think about it.

"But! If you can't win, you can tell the parents to do it!"

He tried to make the atmosphere less heavy.

Ye Xiu's expression suddenly changed.

"Parents? Who are you referring to, Ye Qiu?"

"Who else is he? Isn't he your brother? By the way, you look so similar, are you twins?"

"...Old Tao, what misunderstanding do you have about me?"

"Ye Qiu is my younger brother, a twin brother."

Tao Xuan: [Black question mark face.JPG]

"It's not my fault."

Tao Xuan spoke with difficulty: "He looks better than you..."

"old age?"

"No, it's calm and pragmatic."

Ye Xiu: "..."

"Wait a minute? Old Tao, have you met Ye Qiu?!"

"Of course I have. Excellent Era is about to change hands. How can I not see its next boss?!"

"What did you say?! Excellent Era changed hands?!"

Ye Xiu acted very excited - as if he was completely ignorant of the news.

Tao Xuan could tell that Ye Xiu wasn't pretending, and he couldn't figure out why Ye Xiu had to deceive himself about this matter.

"Yes. I'm going to leave in despair, why don't you know?"

He joked to Ye Xiu.

"Before you tell me, I really didn't know."

Ye Xiu shook his head: "So that's why you know my real name?"

He met Tao Xuan's surprised face: "This matter is not absolutely confidential, I thought you would investigate after those reports came out.

I. "

Tao Xuan: "...Are you serious? I thought those reports that broke out before were your brother complaining!"

"No."

After Ye Xiu denied Tao Xuan, he fell into a moment of deep thought.

"Sorry, old Tao. I think I figured out what's going on..."

Before Tao Xuan's patience ran out, he just apologized.

Tao Xuan: "?"

"When those reports came out, Ye Qiu contacted me."

"That's the guy he met on the last project he worked on—I guess they didn't figure out what was going on with my house—

—They promoted these reports, and then took them to Ye Qiu to sidestep them. "

Ye Xiu rarely sneered: "I probably think this is a very successful provocation."

"You want to tell me that this matter has nothing to do with me; but because your situation has been exposed, your brother must have

It means, or is your family cowardly? "

Originally wanting to say "This has nothing to do with me, I'm so innocent", before blurting out the words, Tao Xuan tried his best to think about the possible grievances and grievances of the wealthy family, the family's face, etc., and then he felt... as if he understood something little bit.

"more or less."

Ye Xiu nodded: "Well... most of it is probably my brother's love for my brother."

Originally, Tao Xuan felt that his mood was very complicated and he felt like he was being used as cannon fodder: "...Damn it, Ye Xiu, can you stop doing this?!"

Aren’t we still seriously analyzing the bloody associations just now? What’s the matter with this kind of awkward and extreme true feelings inserted in a second? !

"what?"

Ye Xiu looked blank.

Can't figure out whether he's pretending or the real Tao Xuan: This kind of feeling, no matter what it is, he's kicking the iron plate...

day.

"Fine……"

In the end, it was Tao Xuan who compromised first.

"Anyway, it's a foregone conclusion that I'll sell Excellent Era now, but I don't want to give Excellent Era to your brother either..."

He was gnashing his teeth, and Ye Xiu felt... well, he'd better not bother Tao Xuan and let him finish.

"I know you're going to pull a team and start over—don't look at me like that, I'll know when I see Lord Grim, okay? After all, if you're just playing for fun, you can't be so serious."

"In short, I don't plan to keep the god-level account card! For the sake of our previous friendship, you can take one with you - at the original price when it came to Excellent Era."

Tao Xuan spoke very seriously, so earnestly that Ye Xiu fully understood the value of it, and...the other party's goodwill was actually hidden very badly.

"Mu Yuchengfeng."

Ye Xiu made an unexpected choice for Tao Xuan.

"you……"

Tao Xuan opened his mouth, wanting to ask a lot, but didn't ask.

He shook his head: "Are you willing to give up One Autumn Leaf?"

"I have Lord Grim."

"Besides, One Autumn Leaf's current manipulator is quite good."

Ye Xiu didn't answer Tao Xuan's words directly, but the feeling of "I've started all over again" couldn't be more clear.

"Excellent Era and One Autumn Leaf are separated, do you have the heart?"

Ye Xiu asked Tao Xuan back.

Tao Xuan was dumbfounded by the question.

He was silent for a long time.

"The Excellent Era of One Autumn Leaf is the Excellent Era that you are still in, and the Excellent Era that we are all in."

"When we first got together, everyone had a very harmonious relationship with Excellent Era. For me, even if Excellent Era is still there after you leave and I leave, it is not the original Excellent Era in my heart."

"One Autumn Leaf is not Excellent Era's signature - it's just an account card, without it, you can create other things."

"Besides... After I die, who cares about the flood?"

Just start it all over again.

Let me be willful and emotional for the last time.

Tao Xuan closed his eyes, controlled his emotions and then opened them: "Originally, Mucheng's contract will be renewed this year, so it looks like she can follow you directly to the Challenger League?"

"The 45 will arrive as soon as possible—if it doesn't work, you can borrow some from your brother."

He spoke quickly, as if he didn't want to listen to Ye Xiu's words at all.

"Tsk, poor Ye Qiu."

Ye Xiu also followed the good example, as if he believed that Tao Xuan did this just to make things difficult for Ye Qiu, and he never thought that if Dancing Rain and One Autumn Leaf were not in Excellent Era, Excellent Era would fall a lot.

Thank you.

Ye Xiu never said this sentence, because he knew that Tao Xuan would not answer.

very good already.

"Goodbye."

At the end of this sudden conversation, the "goodbye" of the two people gathered at the same moment.

Ye Xiu walked out of the conference room with his back to Tao Xuan, he never looked back, and Tao Xuan never got up.

——Just like two years ago, the opposite appearance.
