However, his pressure was effective, and the strength of several players improved to varying degrees.

Ultimately, their team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

The manager wants to go burn incense and pray to Buddha.

His expected result was the top 16, but he made it to the top 8, and some fans were relieved.

They knew the team's current strength; the championship was out of reach, and even reaching the semifinals was uncertain.

There are only a handful of geniuses like Ling Qingyue. His retirement will inevitably be a major blow to the team.

Making it to the quarterfinals would be enough to give everyone a satisfactory result.

As for the rest, fans said they would just do their best.

After enduring so many days, Ling Qingyue finally achieved some results and breathed a sigh of relief.

That evening, when he called Jiang Tian, ​​he couldn't help but whine, "Sister, have you seen the news? Our team made it into the top eight."

Jiang Tian was still working, and while looking at the documents, she replied to him, "I've read it, it's amazing."

Ling Qingyue is a chatterbox in front of the person he likes. He wants to tell Jiang Tian everything about him and their team.

After moving into the base, Ling Qingyue would take time every day to call Jiang Tian to report on the situation and check up on her.

Don't think he didn't know; Xu Yize still hadn't given up pursuing Jiang Tian.

Moreover, several senior executives in the company seemed to have feelings for Jiang Tian.

Thinking about this, Ling Qingyue became furious.

They don't even count how many hairs they have on their heads, yet they dare to covet anyone!

Knowing that Jiang Tian always complained about his young age, Ling Qingyue felt a strong sense of crisis, so checking up on him was necessary.

He did it to protect his sister.

Upon hearing her praise him, Ling Qingyue smiled.

After a while, his eyes flickered, and he asked somewhat nervously, "Would you like to reward me?"

Jiang Tian stopped typing: "What kind of reward do you want?"

"Come and see me." The words just slipped out.

Ling Qingyue had been planning this for a long time.

After arriving at the base, he was so busy that he couldn't keep up with anything else. He had to find time to make a phone call every day, let alone anything else.

However, it is only when you leave that you realize how precious the time you spent together was.

Ling Qing missed Jiang Tian terribly; if he weren't so busy here, he would have gone back long ago.

But everyone needs him. Ling Qingyue has to be at the base at all times. He can't go back, so he can only beg Jiang Tian to come over.

Hearing that Jiang Tian hadn't said anything for a long time, Ling Qingyue felt a little sad.

However, he recovered quickly. He could see how busy Jiang Tian was when the two of them spent every day together.

With so many things going on, how could she possibly have time to visit him?

"Um, I was just talking nonsense. I'll come back to find you after I'm done with my work," Ling Qingyue quickly added.

"Is the day after tomorrow okay?"

Ling Qingyue's mind went blank: "What?"

"I was just checking the time. I'm free the day after tomorrow. Will I be able to see you at the base?"

Ling Qingyue was so happy he almost threw his phone away. He immediately exclaimed, beaming, "Yes!"

"Okay, then I'll come see you the day after tomorrow."

Ling Qingyue was incredibly excited: "I'll wait for you!"

Just after hanging up the phone, Ling Qingyue took her phone downstairs to get a drink of water, unable to hide the smile on her face.

Xiao Si happened to see Ling Qingyue's smiling face, and he shivered: "Brother, did we do something wrong?"

Ling Qingyue's face instantly darkened, and she asked him, "What are you talking about?"

Xiao Si was confused: "This is the first time I've seen you smile so happily since we entered your base. I thought we had broken some kind of divine law."

"roll!"

Having agreed on a time with Jiang Tian, ​​Ling Qingyue felt as if each day was an eternity.

Ling Qingyue didn't tell anyone that Jiang Tian was coming to see him. He only informed the manager, instructing him to bring Jiang Tian over without letting anyone else know, and to have the manager take the others out for dinner.

Jiang Tian said she wouldn't be staying long and would have to leave soon. Ling Qingyue was afraid of being photographed by reporters if she went out, so she had to make this arrangement.

When the manager learned that Ling Qingyue had a girlfriend, he thought the sun had risen in the west.

However, he was happy to play matchmaker, since he had never seen Ling Qingyue act so worthless before.

The young master is experiencing his first love; what's wrong with him helping out?

Ling Qingyue counted the stars and the moon, and finally the day arrived for the two of them to meet.

In the afternoon, a group of people started packing up. They had been locked up in the base for so long, and the manager said they could eat as much as they wanted that night. Anyone who didn't go would be a fool.

Upon learning that Ling Qingyue would be adjusting tactics at the base, many people tried to curry favor with him, offering to bring him food.

No one asked Ling Qingyue to go with them.

Ling Qingyue's time as a coach left a deep shadow on everyone.

He was ruthless to himself when he was a player, but as a coach he was ruthless to everyone indiscriminately.

Some of the younger players even have a psychological aversion to him; they're afraid to eat when they see him, lest he say, "Have you finished your tactics? Still eating!"

Upon learning that he wouldn't be going, many people felt a sense of regret, but secretly rejoiced.

Ling Qingyue could easily see through the children's thoughts written on their faces.

He couldn't be bothered to get angry with them; the anticipation of seeing his girlfriend soon overwhelmed everything else.

Soon the base was empty, and even the cleaning lady was given a day off by Ling Qingyue.

Ling Qingyue sat on the sofa, checking her phone every now and then.

Why aren't they here yet?

After waiting for ten minutes, Jiang Tian finally sent him a message: "Open the door."

Ling Qingyue jumped up from the sofa and immediately opened the door. Upon seeing Jiang Tian, ​​it's no exaggeration to say that Ling Qingyue's eyes turned red.
