Chapter 71 Two-Way Choice

Today the weather is good, and the batch of flowerbed seedlings ordered by Huo's father some time ago has just arrived. The housekeeper is arranging people to plant these seedlings in the garden. Huo's father thought that there was still some time before lunch, so he went to the garden to check the seedlings first.

As a result, he just got the seedlings in his hands and heard Ye Leyao's two consecutive thoughts.

Huo Ze brought people back?

Or is he an undercover?

What's going on?

Huo's father threw the seedlings away and walked back to the living room quickly.

Huo's mother is in the kitchen at this moment. In the past two days, Ye Leyao either ate hot pot or barbecue when recording the show. Huo's mother plans to cook some soup for Ye Leyao and Huo Yan to nourish their stomachs today.

Just as she put all the ingredients into the pot, she heard Ye Leyao's inner voice.

Mother Huo even forgot to take off her apron and hurried out.

Has the third brother, the fool, been fooled again?

Huo Yan, who was still lingering upstairs, did not linger after hearing this. He quickly changed his clothes and prepared to go downstairs.

The protagonist of this story, Huo Ze, was standing at the entrance at this time, with a look of astonishment.

What undercover?

Is Ye Leyao sure?

This is his new team member who is about to join the team, how could he be an undercover?

Ye Leyao walked to the living room and happened to see Huo's father and mother also walking over.

Huo's father and mother looked at each other. Huo's mother first looked at Huo Ze and the boy behind him, and smiled at them: "You brought your friends back? Why are you standing there? Come in."

Huo Ze came back to his senses, looked at Huo's father and mother, and then glanced at Ye Leyao.

Don't panic.

Now he doesn't even know what the situation is, he must not panic.

So Huo Ze quickly put on a smile and introduced to Huo's father and mother: "His name is Li Chi, and he is my new teammate."

Li Chi smiled at Huo's father and mother as a greeting, and then said to Huo Ze: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, why don't we talk about the contract tomorrow, I won't bother you for now..."

The moment he recognized Li Chi, Ye Leyao had already recalled this part of the plot.

[Fortunately, it seems that the third brother is not stupid enough to sign the contract directly, and he knows to bring the person back to have a look first. No, I have to find a way to remind the third brother that this contract must not be signed! ]

Huo Ze: "..."

In fact, the contract is in his bag, and he met with Li Chi today for the purpose of signing the contract.

However, before signing the contract, Huo Ze found that the official seal of his team was left at home, so he came back to get it.

How well do Huo's father and mother know Huo Ze?

You can tell what's going on by looking at his expression.

But fortunately, the contract has not been signed yet. As long as the contract is not signed, things will be easy.

But before that, they still have to figure out why Huo Ze wants to sign an undercover agent into the team.

Don't they even do a background check? !

So, Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "What's the matter? Li Chi, right? Come in and sit down. We can still talk at home."

Father Huo followed up, "Yes, there is a study room at home. It's almost time for dinner. You can talk slowly after dinner. Come in and sit down first."

Both elders tried to keep him. It would be deliberate to refuse.

Li Chi stood there and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Sorry to bother you."

Huo Yan also came downstairs at this time. He glanced at Li Chi and recognized him.

Huo Yan didn't know much about the e-sports circle, but because of Huo Ze, he would occasionally watch e-sports games. In addition, Huo Yan had just seen Li Chi in the final not long ago, so he had some impression of him.

So Huo Yan was even more confused.

What reason did Li Chi have to be an undercover agent in Huo Ze's team?

Huo Ze also couldn't figure it out.

Although the MH team that Li Chi is in this year did not win the championship this season, it is also the runner-up team. As the ace player of MH, Li Chi has always been a core member of MH.

At the same time, as an old and powerful team, MH has a deep foundation, and their tactical system is much more complete than Huo Ze's team.

It stands to reason that such an excellent team with a perfect management system has no need to cut off its own arms and send Li Chi, the most core player of its team, over just to find out their tactics.

So is there any misunderstanding here?

Li Chi is only twenty years old now, which is the golden age for professional players.

There is no need to ruin your future!

Huo Yan and Huo Ze were confused, and Huo's father and mother were even more confused.

After all, Li Chi was a guest, and they couldn't leave him alone when nothing was clear yet, so they invited him to have tea and started chatting with him.

While Huo's father and mother were inviting people, Ye Leyao had already opened the memo and read this part of the plot again. After reading it, Ye Leyao's brows wrinkled.

Huo Ze was sitting opposite Ye Leyao, and when he saw him frown, Huo Ze's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

No way, is it really because MH has to send an undercover agent just because they lost to them once?

Or is it sending the ace of their team?

Are you crazy? !

At this time, Ye Leyao finally spoke:

[So that's how it is, so someone has leverage over Li Chi! ]

[I knew it, Li Chi's treatment in MH is not bad, although his contract with MH has indeed expired, but as long as he wants to renew it, how could MH not agree? ]

[So he was threatened, but he has leverage over him...]

Ye Leyao sighed.

Huo's father and mother looked at each other.

What leverage?

Huo Ze also sat up a little straighter.

Handle?

As long as it's not a serious stain like match-fixing, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Before he finished thinking, he heard Ye Leyao's inner voice continue to come -

[Tsk tsk tsk, this Li Chi is really brave, he even played a fixed game! ]

Huo Ze's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

No? !

Is it really a fixed game? !

When?

It won't be the match against them in the finals,

right? But why did MH deliberately lose to them and then send their team's ace player over?

Huo Ze was shocked and couldn't figure it out.

Huo Yan was also shocked.

If it was a fixed game, once it was confirmed, Li Chi would most likely be banned by the official.

Even this competition period would not be short, usually half a year to a year, and if the matter was serious, two years was also possible.

Not to mention a year, even if there is no competition for half a year, the player's condition will not be as good as before.

For professional players, the golden period is only a few years.

And more importantly, once this matter is exposed, other teams will not dare to use Li Chi anymore.

After all, no matter which team it is, they will not trust a person who sold out his team for profit before. Who can guarantee that he will not be tempted by profit again in the future?

As long as this matter is exposed, Li Chi's career will be over.

Then what's the matter with Li Chi not wanting to renew his contract with MH?

Could it be that Li Chi thinks that MH has cultivated him after all, and he can't stay and continue to cheer for MH, so he comes to cheer for Huo Ze's team?

Huo Yan suddenly wanted to laugh.

No wonder the more he looks at Huo Ze recently, the more he feels that he looks like a fool.

Huo's mother couldn't help but look at Huo Ze.

Oh.

It seems that Huo Ze's career luck is not so good this year.

Ye Leyao has finished reading this part of the plot. The plot here does not mention how Li Chi played a fake game and who caught him. He flipped through the back and did not find any relevant description, so he simply put away his phone.

[I have to find a way to remind the third brother not to sign the contract...]

As Ye Leyao thought about it, his eyes fell on Li Chi who was diagonally opposite.

Huo's father was still chatting with Li Chi.

I don't know if it's because of Li Chi's personality, he doesn't talk much and his expression is a little cold. When Mr. Huo talked to him, Li Chi would mostly just respond indifferently, sometimes even just nodding and shaking his head.

[Well, it seems that Li Chi is quite calm and composed, I wonder if he is really not in a hurry or just pretending not to be.]

Huo Yan also looked at Li Chi and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Although Li Chi had no expression on his face, it was estimated that his patience was almost exhausted.

Sure enough, after Mr. Huo finished talking about the topic again.

Li Chi finally couldn't help it, slightly tilted his head to look at Huo Ze, and took the initiative to ask: "Captain Huo, have you got the official seal? Can we sign the contract?"

Ye Leyao immediately became anxious:

[No, Third Brother, you must not sign a contract with him!]

[Ahhh, what should I think of to prevent Third Brother from signing a contract with Li Chi? 】

Ye Leyao was very anxious.

The ears of the whole Huo family also hurt a lot.

Huo Yanshi couldn't help but glance at Ye Leyao.

Don't be anxious!

Although your third brother is indeed a fool, now that he knows Li Chi's true purpose, he will definitely not sign a contract with Li Chi.

It's a pity that Ye Leyao couldn't hear Huo Yan's voice, and he was still screaming in his heart.

And when Huo Ze heard this shrill scream, he finally came back to his senses from his loss of soul.

It is indeed sad to lose such a strong player, but Ye Leyao is really a bit noisy!

He wanted to cover his ears.

Huo Ze endured the discomfort in his ears and turned to look at Li Chi.

Li Chi suddenly contacted the person in charge of their team last night.

Huo Ze was overjoyed when he heard that Li Chi was interested in joining their team. You know, Li Chi can be the trump card of MH, and his strength is obvious to all!

If Li Chi can join their team, the overall strength of their team will definitely be greatly improved.

So Huo Ze didn't think twice and said that he would come back to talk to Li Chi in person that night, so the whole family followed him and hurried back to the city from the filming site.

Huo Ze was communicating with Li Chi about the details of the contract all night last night, fearing that Li Chi would suddenly regret it, and also afraid that Li Chi would be intercepted by other teams, so even though the salary proposed by Li Chi was a bit high, Huo Ze gritted his teeth and agreed.

The details of the contract were quickly finalized in one night. Huo Ze was afraid that Li Chi would go back on his word, so he asked him to come out to sign the contract early the next morning.

Unexpectedly, Li Chi was very cooperative and came out as soon as Huo Ze asked him to.

At that time, Huo Ze thought that Li Chi also wanted to join his team very sincerely, so he agreed to sign the contract so quickly.

Unexpectedly, this was a trap set for his team.

It is estimated that not only is he afraid that Li Chi will run away, but Li Chi is also afraid that he will not sign a contract with him, right?

Thinking of this, Huo Ze's eyes flashed with anger.

Damn, how dare you play with labor!

The sky-high salary is a small matter. Even if he was really deceived, Huo Ze can accept it.

But what he couldn't accept was that someone in his team was playing a fake game, which made the hard work of other players go to waste!

Although it was still unclear who sent Li Chi, it didn't matter anymore.

Anyway, Huo Ze would no longer sign a contract with Li Chi, and he would investigate the matter thoroughly.

Huo Ze took a deep breath, quickly sorted out his expression, and said with a smile: "The official seal is in my room, and there is no rush to sign the contract. Let's eat first."

Coincidentally, the housekeeper came over at this time and told them that lunch was ready.

Ye Leyao was slightly relieved when he heard Huo Ze's words.

[Well, it seems that my third brother is not so stupid as to sign the contract directly, otherwise I would definitely snatch the contract from him directly! ]

Huo Ze: "..."

What is so stupid about him!

Ye Leyao, can you please stop putting labels on him!

And isn't it stupid that you snatched the contract in front of him?

Huo Yan couldn't help laughing and almost couldn't help laughing.

It's time to let Huo Ze experience his feelings.

Huo's father quickly said: "Yes, the contract can be signed later, let's eat first."

Li Chi frowned, tilted his head to look at Huo Ze, and made sure that there was nothing abnormal on his face, then he breathed a sigh of relief. Li Chi

's eyes were very careful, he just glanced at Huo Ze and quickly retracted his gaze, but Ye Leyao, who had been observing, noticed the change in his expression.

Ye Leyao's mouth curved:

[It seems that Li Chi is a little anxious. ]

Huo Ze asked Li Chi to sit down, and his mouth curved.

Since Li Chi was anxious, he should not be anxious.

Huo Ze did not intend to break up with Li Chi now. Huo's father and mother also saw his thoughts, so they treated Li Chi as usual.

Li Chi did not notice anything unusual and finished the meal with the family.

After leaving the table, Huo's father suddenly said: "The rearrangement of the garden should be done. Do you want to go with me?"

Huo Ze smiled without thinking and said: "Okay, Li Chi, let's go and have a look together?"

Li Chi frowned slightly.

He did not come to the Huo family to visit their garden.

But Huo Ze took the initiative to invite him, and the other members of the Huo family looked over.

Li Chi pursed his lips.

It was really hard for him to refuse.

So Li Chi could only bite the bullet and nod in agreement.

Ye Leyao also noticed something at this moment, and glanced at Huo Ze.

[Huh? Why do I feel that Third Brother doesn't seem to be in a hurry to sign the contract? ]

[Could it be that my silly Third Brother has finally noticed something unusual? ]

Huo Yan really couldn't help but laugh twice.

Huo Ze: "..."

Huo Ze stepped forward quickly, grabbed Ye Leyao's shoulders directly, and choked him.

Ye Leyao's eyes widened: "Third Brother, what are you doing!"

Huo Ze let go of Ye Leyao and snorted heavily.

Ye Leyao was speechless. He rubbed his neck, frowned and muttered in his heart:

[It shouldn't be like this. Third brother is so old. Could it be that he hasn't passed the second year of high school yet? ]

Huo Yan almost couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth.

Huo Ze was so angry that his teeth clenched.

What do you mean he is so old?

He is only two years older than Ye Leyao!

Huo Ze took a deep breath and decided not to bother with Ye Leyao. He turned around and talked to Li Chi.

The garden newly planned by Huo's father is very beautiful, but it is still midsummer after all, so the group walked outside for a while and then went into the house.

After returning to the living room, Huo Ze smiled and asked Li Chi: "I saw you looking at our swimming pool just now. Do you want to go swimming for a while?"

Li Chi frowned and said with some resistance: "No, I just want to take a look..."

Huo Ze simply pulled him up and said: "Let's go, don't be polite with us. I'm hot too. Let's go swimming together and discuss the details of the contract?"

When Li Chi mentioned the contract, his expression changed obviously. He looked up at Huo Ze and suddenly felt indescribably depressed.

They had already negotiated the contract last night. Why were they still talking about the details of the contract?

Could it be that the salary he proposed was a bit high and Huo Ze regretted it?

It shouldn't be like that.

Huo Ze had agreed to it last night, but he was still so anxious to ask him to sign the contract.

Li Chi actually wanted to keep Huo Ze hanging, but was afraid that things would go wrong if things were delayed for too long, so he agreed to sign the contract this morning.

But he didn't know what Huo Ze was doing. First, he forgot to bring the official seal and said he would go home to get it. As a result, when he got home, he didn't see him rushing to get the official seal to sign the contract. Instead, he asked him to stay for lunch.

Now he has eaten lunch, walked around the garden, and said he would take him swimming...

After such a long time, he didn't mention signing a contract. It's not that Li Chi is suspicious, but he really thinks Huo Ze may have guessed something.

Could it be that Huo Ze found out the real reason why he joined his team?

Li Chi was shocked, but quickly calmed down.

Impossible.

Gu Song promised him that as long as he joined Huo Ze's team, he would not reveal that he had played a fake match before the matter was completed.

Then...

it can't be that Huo Ze thinks the salary he asked for is too high, right?

Li Chi's mind was in a thousand turns, but to outsiders, it was only a few seconds.

Li Chi took a deep breath, followed Huo Ze and stood up, and walked out while tentatively asking: "But haven't we already negotiated the contract? Is there any problem?"

Ye Leyao would definitely not miss such a good opportunity to join in the fun, so he followed Huo Ze directly: "Third brother, I'll go too!"

Huo Ze did not answer Li Chi immediately, but looked at Ye Leyao with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of swimming?"

Ye Leyao said "I'll just play in the water for a while!"

Huo Ze smiled, then turned to Li Chi and said, "There is a small problem..."

He seemed a little embarrassed, and after walking a little further, Huo Ze said, "Regarding the salary, I thought about it carefully, and I think this salary is a bit too high."

The salary of professional players is generally around one million, but the popularity and strength of each player are different, so the fixed salary will also be different.

For a player like Li Chi who is talented and famous, his annual salary is usually a seven-digit number starting with two digits. With other bonuses and commissions, he can get three to four million a year.

But the annual salary that Li Chi asked for last night was four million.

This salary is already very high.

But in order to sign Li Chi, Huo Ze agreed without blinking an eye last night.

Huo Ze thought at the time that as long as Li Chi could lead other team members to achieve good results, the higher the salary, the better. After all, such an excellent player is very rare. Once you miss it, you will really miss it.

But now that it looks like this, it is better to just miss it. After

Huo Ze finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Li Chi.

Sure enough, Li Chi's expression changed immediately.

Li Chi frowned, and there seemed to be some anger in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it: "But didn't we already discuss it last night? Captain Huo, you also agreed at that time."

Ye Leyao retracted his gaze and curled up the corners of his mouth.

[Huh? Li Chi still wants a high reward? ]

[If the price can't be negotiated, won't the contract be signed? ]

Ye Leyao thought of this and was relieved instantly.

[Okay, it seems that the third brother has started to think, then I feel relieved! ]

Huo Ze: "..."

You are just starting to think!

Huo Ze couldn't help looking at Ye Leyao, and smiled at Li Chi, saying, "You know, my team is a new team. Although we won the championship last season and many investors came to us, we still have so many people to support, and we are also short of a few tactical analysts, so the funds are really a bit insufficient." "It's

my fault, too. I didn't think about it last night and agreed to it. I'm sorry, so I want to discuss it with you again." Huo Ze said and went to see Li Chi.

Li Chi's face was a little ugly at this time.

The three walked to the side of the swimming pool.

Ye Leyao was not ready to go into the water, so he went to lie on the beach chair next to him.

Huo Ze said to Li Chi: "Swimsuits are prepared in the room, do you want to change?"

Li Chi had a gloomy face and did not answer.

Huo Ze raised his eyebrows and prepared to change into his swimsuit first.

At this moment, Li Chi suddenly spoke: "Captain Huo, I decided to join your team because I like the atmosphere of your team very much and I admire you."

Huo Ze paused and looked back at Li Chi.

Li Chi continued: "You should also know that the news of my termination of contract with MH has not been released yet. This is also what I discussed with MH in advance. Once the news of my termination of contract with MH is released, the number of teams contacting me will only increase, not decrease, and I will have a lot of room for choice."

Ye Leyao's eyes widened when he heard this.

[Wow, is this a direct threat? 】

Ye Leyao hurried to see Huo Ze again.

【Third brother! You can't be threatened! 】

【It's a pity to miss an excellent player, but Li Chi is not worth it! If you miss him, you will definitely meet a better Dashu, a better Mr. Right! 】

Huo Ze: "..."

Can someone come to shut Ye Leyao's mouth!

What the hell is he talking about every day? It messed up his train of thought!

Huo Ze simply had a headache, feeling funny and angry, and couldn't sort out his expression for a while.

He just turned his back to Li Chi and didn't look back.

This look fell into Li Chi's eyes, and it became Huo Ze's hesitant expression.

Li Chi couldn't help but slightly bent his lips.

He knew that Huo Ze would compromise.

After all, his strength lies here, and the weakest point of Huo Ze's team is the top laner.

The new season will start soon. Where else can Huo Ze find such a suitable top laner besides himself?

Although the salary he proposed is indeed a bit high, there is nothing he can do about it.

Li Chi did not think that things from a few years ago would be dug up by others. With this handle, he will never be at ease.

Anyway, the fact that he played a fake game will be exposed sooner or later, so it is better to make a fortune before it is exposed.

So no matter what, Li Chi will not give in.

Huo Ze paused for a long time, and finally sorted out his expression. He turned his head and asked, "So, do you have other teams you like?"

The fact is, Li Chi can only join Huo Ze's team.

But Li Chi still replied, "Yes, I just give priority to your team. If Captain Huo can't agree to the salary, I may choose other teams..."

"That's fine."

Li Chi paused, then raised his head suddenly, looking up at Huo Ze in shock.

Wait, what did he just hear?

Ye Leyao laughed out loud.

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, what a "that's fine"! ]

[Okay, it seems that the third brother has really come to his senses. I am completely relieved! Huo Ze

wanted to laugh when he heard Ye Leyao's laughter. He wanted to hold it back, but he couldn't help but let the corners of his mouth curl up. He simply didn't hide it.

Looking at Li Chi in front of him, Huo Ze smiled as if in the spring breeze: "If you have a better choice, I won't force you to stay. After all, it's a two-way choice. There's no need for everyone to hang themselves on a tree.

" Li Chi: "..."

Fuck the two-way choice!

Huo Ze has other choices, he has no choice at all!
