Chapter 153: Bought a Team
After Lu Xusheng finished the live broadcast, he was sitting in the gaming chair and drinking water to moisten his throat when he saw a phone call coming in. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number, he answered it without thinking.
Since the car accident, he has deleted all contact information in the circle, except for the previous WeChat account. Everything related to the e-sports circle on his phone has been blocked by him. He has not checked that WeChat account except for the last time he logged in.
His cell phone number was also new, and not many people in the circle knew it. Lu Xusheng was still wondering who called him when he heard silence from the other end. Then, a familiar voice with a smile and a hint of uncertain surprise said, "Shengsheng?"
After hearing the voice from the other end, Lu Xusheng was startled. His fingertips gripping the phone couldn't help but tighten. After a while, he spoke: "It's me."
Lu Xusheng's voice was a little hoarse. He was busy fighting those trolls just now, and his voice was affected a little now. There was a complexity in his tone.
"How's your leg? Has it recovered? I thought I would never see you standing on the court again in this lifetime. I'm glad that you decided to come back." The voice on the other end was still as gentle as the wind, and the tone was very soft, as if he was chatting with an old friend about family matters.
Hearing his familiar voice, Lu Xusheng's throat tightened slightly, and a sour feeling surged in his heart: "Thank you for your concern, my leg has almost recovered."
At this moment, Lu Xusheng heard someone calling him. His throat slid open, and after some hesitation, he called out the familiar name: "Jing Mo."
Someone seemed to be busy over there, and a voice came out somewhat casually: "Hmm?"
When Lu Xusheng thought that Chenxing was indeed expected to enter the international arena under Jing Mo's leadership, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he and Jing Mo went to Chenxing for tryouts. At that time, they were still young boys, full of enthusiasm and the goal of rushing to the international arena, and they were full of energy every day.
At that time, Jing Mo was the most talented and hardworking person he had ever met. In addition, his style was extremely stable, so he quickly became a regular member of Morning Star from the youth training team. However, because of his arrogant and unruly personality, he often got into fights and suffered losses. In a fit of anger, he quit Morning Star and came to Tianyu.
Lu Xusheng waited for a moment before he heard the voice continue, "Shengsheng, do you want to return to Morning Star? I've reserved a spot for you here. Would you like to consider it? I hope we can stand on the World Championship stage together."
There was a hint of expectation in Jing Mo's tone. After all, Tianyu's strength was indeed the lowest among all the major clubs. He knew Lu Xusheng's strength better than anyone else. With him joining, Morning Star would definitely perform better this season, and their initial wish to stand on the world stage would surely come true.
Lu Xusheng also knew what Jing Mo meant, and he refused without thinking: "Don't think about it, I have confidence in Tianyu."
Perhaps because Lu Xusheng rejected her without a second thought, she felt a little disappointed. After a long while, she chuckled and said, "Your temper hasn't changed. If you need my help, feel free to ask. Also, please don't block me anymore. It's really not easy to find you. Get some rest early. See you in the spring season."
Lu Xusheng said calmly, "See you in the spring season."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The next morning, Lu Yu found the Tianyu Club according to the address given by Lu Xusheng.
He was holding a medicine box in his hand, and I wondered how he was recovering after all these days.
People in the e-sports club usually don't get up before noon. Their training time is usually in the evening, so Lu Xusheng hasn't gotten up yet. Only Tian Tian, the manager of the team, got up early and was busy.
Hearing the doorbell, Tian Tian opened the door with a puzzled look and saw a tall figure with a fair and beautiful face wearing sunglasses standing outside.
Although the girl was young, she had such an arrogant aura that Tian Tian couldn't help but be respectful to her.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Lu Yu looked at the man in front of her, and said with a slight smile: "Lu Xusheng."
At this time, Tian Tian also saw the medicine box in Lu Yu's hand, and probably guessed that it must be the rehabilitation therapist called by Lu Xusheng, so he immediately invited the person in.
As soon as Lu Xusheng got up and came down from upstairs, he saw Lu Yu talking about something with Tian Tian. Tian Tian was looking at Lu Yu with shining eyes.
Seeing Lu Xusheng, Tian Tian hurriedly went to greet him, his tone more polite than ever before: "Shengsheng, your sister is here, come over quickly."
Lu Xusheng was very familiar with Tian Tian's tone and eyes. This was the look he would have when he met a wealthy sponsor.
He walked over and took his sister's arm and asked hurriedly, "Yu'er, what did you promise him?"
Lu Yu glanced at his third brother and replied casually, "Nothing, just bought some things."
Lu Xusheng didn't believe that the "little thing" that Lu Yu mentioned was just a little thing. He knew Tian Tian too well. Now the owner of Tianyu Club was eager to throw away Tianyu, this hot potato. Not only could he not get sponsorship, he was afraid that he couldn't even pay the players' salaries.
He looked at Lu Yu in disbelief and said, "You might have bought Tianyu, right?"
Lu Yu didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
Seeing this, Lu Xusheng grabbed Tian Tian and was about to beat him up, but Tian Tian was quick enough to block him with Lu Yu. The bully took advantage of Lu Xusheng's legs not fully recovered yet and quickly slipped away.
Seeing Tian Tian running away, Lu Xusheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Lu Yu pulled him to sit down, showed him the contract, and explained his intentions: "Third brother, Tianyu is a veteran team. Aside from its current poor performance and the owner's poor management, its other conditions are among the best among these clubs. I definitely didn't buy Tianyu on a whim."
Lu Yu was right. As a veteran team, Tianyu has the most fans among all the clubs.
As long as it is managed well, Tianyu will definitely stand on the world's top stage again. How could Lu Xusheng not know this? Originally, he also wanted to buy Tianyu, but who knew that his sister got there first.
He just felt that his sister must have been cheated by that guy Tian Tian, and he felt a little unhappy.
"I'll pay for the team. Where do you get so much money, little girl?" Although Lu Xusheng couldn't bear to see his sister being cheated, the contract had already been signed, so it would be useless for him to go back on his word.
Lu Xusheng didn't want Lu Yu to use Jing Ji's money to buy a team. He couldn't accept it when he thought that Jing Ji was his boss.
Lu Yu knew what his third brother was thinking, but he didn't expose him. He just explained, "Don't worry, I bought it with my own money. You are the acting boss now, and I will need you to help me manage the team in the future."
