Sheng Quan visited the official website and confirmed that Bai Xiangyuan had quit the team before making the call.

There was too little information about Tan Chen in the original text of "Starlight". She didn't even know the whole story of Tan Chen's death, let alone his character.

But of course Sheng Quan wouldn't just replace the person just because it wasn't mentioned in the article.

When she first entered the book, her life was in danger, and she had to personally investigate Yan Hui.

This time the mission was very different.

First of all, the amount is really huge.

Even though Sheng Quan has a manor worth tens of billions, real estate worth tens of billions, and a building in Shanghai, the prizes from the lottery are still different from the tasks.

The amount of this mission is definitely the largest that Sheng Quan has ever received. It is also the first time that she is able to invest in multiple talents. Sheng Quan not only needs talents with strong technical skills, but also a "leader" that she can trust.

If Tan Chen is as described in the book, Sheng Quan will invest in him, but she will not use the only "primary quota" on him.

But it turns out that Tan Chen is indeed different from what is written in the book.

The few words describing Tan Chen in the book make it seem as if he is willing to do anything for victory and the e-sports career he loves, even his life.

The actual Tan Chen has plans and strategies. Every move since the formation of the Water Breaking Team has been carefully calculated.

He loves games, but he also cherishes life.

Just like the way he played in the game, every step seemed to be stretched between limits and could crumble at any time. Others thought he was courting death, but in fact, every step he took landed smoothly.

Just like in a boxing match, Sheng Quan confirmed his idea after raising the bet: in order to control his injuries, Tan Chen has been consciously suppressing his strength.

Even if he doesn't like it, even if he likes winning.

But only by doing this can he make money and keep occupational injuries within a controllable range.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. This saying does not exist in the world of e-sports. Tan Chen has to hold that shaky line in place, protecting both his teammates and himself to win in the end.

Strictly speaking, he is still a sixth child.

Although he could have made a name for himself early on, in order to avoid being sniped by other big clubs, Tan Chen forced the entire team to survive until the global competition, where their true strength was exposed.

Now I guess the big clubs are staring at Po Shui, the dark horse that suddenly emerged, and cursing him.

But it makes sense when you think about it.

When he was in service, he could even include normal attacks in his moves. After a series of moves, he would use a normal attack to take away the last bit of the opponent's health. He was a fierce man who could plan everything.

When Sheng Quan understood everything bit by bit, he couldn't help but sigh to 006: [Sure enough, those who are good at playing games are all cunning.]

But no matter how sinister Tan Chen was, he did it to protect the Poshui Team. Who could have thought that he would be stabbed in the back by the very people he was protecting.

After Sheng Quan finished talking about his own club, he turned the topic directly to Bai Xiangyuan:

"What was the reason for his resignation?"

Tan Chen's reaction was obviously slow. He couldn't even understand what Sheng Quan meant when she said she had a club. To be precise, he couldn't even tell that the person in front of him was Sheng Quan.

The young man sat on the steps, blinked slowly, and then answered:

"He said that with what he has achieved now... he deserves a bigger and better club."

His tone was calm, as if he wasn't that sad.

Everything is connected.

Why, when everything was going according to Tan Chen's plan, Tan Chen ended up dying from an injury?

Because some team members chose to leave at this critical moment.

Sheng Quan, who originally just wanted to say a few words of comfort, sighed slightly when he heard this.

She knew the feeling.

When I was concentrating on external affairs, I was stabbed in the back by someone I trusted.

Before she evolved into a seasoned veteran, she had encountered this situation before. She had devoted all her energy to training a newcomer, and the first thing the newcomer did was to try to step on her to get to the top.

There are many such things in the workplace, and Sheng Quan has long been accustomed to it. She can accept anyone doing this, except the newcomer who was brought up by her and who keeps saying "Thank you, Sister Quan, you are so nice".

Sheng Quan was very miserable at that time. She didn't dare to train new people for a while, and it took her a long time to adjust her mentality.

Of course, she was not idle when she was in pain and confusion.

She multiplied the pit thrown by the newcomer tenfold and then watched him being fired in disgrace with a smile =v= She would definitely be sad, after all, she would have some feelings for a goldfish.

Obviously, Tan Chen is still in the sad stage.

Sheng Quan: "Then he missed it. In the future, Water Breaking will become the biggest and best club."

Tan Chen said in a low voice: "That's what I said too."

He sounded like he was about to pass out any second.

Sheng Quan noticed something was wrong and asked, "Where are you now? Have you been drinking? Have you eaten?"

"I didn't drink, I didn't eat, I was outside in the fresh air."

Sheng Quan, who is very experienced: Either he stayed up late or he was sick.

She asked again: "It looks like it's going to rain, do you have an umbrella?"

Tan Chen looked down at the umbrella next to him, which had the Broken Water team logo printed on it.

——"I'll give you this broken umbrella back! Let Chen Mo and the others stop acting like I'm sorry for you. From now on, you are you and I am me!"

——"You always say that not sending us on loan and not letting us play matches too often is for our own good! I think you just don't want us to succeed!"

——"Yes, you taught me, but I am the rookie champion of this session. You can't let me stay in a place like Poshui where the whole team only has one latest gaming device, right?"

——"The Tianzhan Club has seven machines, one of which is an e3. They came to recruit me, so what should I choose? Brother Tan, I am very grateful for your help in the beginning, but this world is so realistic. I can still play in the global competition if I go to Tianzhan. If my water breaks and I am gone, I can't even get everyone together."

The broken umbrella fell heavily to the ground. After a while, it was slowly picked up by its original owner.

Tan Chen closed his eyes and stopped thinking about Bai Xiangyuan: "The umbrella is broken."

Sheng Quan: ...Sounds a little familiar.

It seemed that she had broken her umbrella in such weather before.

Tan Chen's tone sounded quite calm, but the content of his words was quite confusing. It was unclear whether he mistook Sheng Quan for the partner who had called him before: "Don't worry, I will continue to participate in the next game even if my water breaks."

"The relevant cooperation will proceed as scheduled. If you want to cancel the contract, we will communicate again tomorrow. Thank you and goodbye."

The phone was hung up.

Sheng Quan was almost certain that Tan Chen was not fully conscious at the moment.

She glanced at the sky outside and asked, "Is it going to rain?"

Jiang Lu followed her and looked at the large dark clouds gathering in the sky: "It will rain in about five minutes."

Sheng Quan: Whenever something sad happens, you have to get caught in the rain. What kind of plot is this?

But think about it, Fangcheng has always been rainy, so it seems very scientific.

She closed the window and said to He Xi, who was working at a small desk:

Tan Chen is a person with a strong sense of responsibility. In this situation, he would never leave the remaining team members too far away. Maybe he would calmly comfort others before hiding away to make himself feel uncomfortable.

He Xi agreed and just found the contact information of the production team. Before she could call them, she saw Director Sheng, who usually didn't like to go out on rainy days, suddenly stand up and walk out: "Forget it, why don't you ask them where the production team is filming now? I'll go over there."

Jiang Lu followed behind silently, picked up the coat that Sheng Quan had forgotten to take, and gently put it on her.

He Xi agreed and followed, contacting the program crew while looking at the tall man putting a coat on Director Sheng.

Assistant He, who wanted to be the best person around Director Sheng, nodded secretly in his heart: This is fine, and this should also be learned.

The next time a similar situation happens, she will definitely remember to put on Mr. Sheng's coat.

**** Sheng Quan didn't like going out on rainy days because she was young and inexperienced when she was betrayed by her new boyfriend. She suffered a double blow in her emotions and career. Add to that the high pressure at work and she was struggling to survive in a big city alone without even a friend to talk to.

So on such a rainy day, she huddled under a barbecue stall, holding a bottle of wine and crying silently.

While crying secretly, she was cursing in her heart.

The owner of the barbecue restaurant found out and thought she was heartbroken, so she specially gave her a string of grilled chicken hearts. Sheng Quan still remembers the taste of the grilled chicken hearts.

Holding the roasted chicken heart and looking at the proprietress, Sheng Quan couldn't hold back and burst into tears. The proprietress comforted her for a long time.

Later, when she finished eating and walked home, she did bring an umbrella with her. But maybe when people are unlucky, they get unlucky together, and her umbrella was as useless as Tan Chen's.

To be precise, it wasn't broken, but probably because it was too close to the stove when I was having a barbecue, and a big hole was burned in it.

In the end, she held the umbrella with a hole in it, feeling the rain dripping through it and crying all the way back. Thank God, there were very few pedestrians on the road that day.

Blame her for having a good memory.

Whenever it rains, she can recall the scene of herself crying.

Every time I think about it, it's like digging out the Mary Sue novel "The heroine has colorful hair" that I secretly wrote when I was in school, and I just want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

When she was a corporate slave in her previous life, she had no choice. Even if it was raining or slashing by knives, she had to punch in for work.

Now that she is the chairman of the board, President Sheng never puts herself in a difficult position. As long as it rains heavily, she will not go out. If she has to go out, she will wait until the rain stops.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time she went out in such heavy rain since she traveled through time.

But it actually feels pretty good.

Sheng Quan felt that this was because Jiang Lu was always by her side, holding an umbrella for her and shielding her from the wind.

Brother Jiang is really professional. He can even shield her from the splashing rain.

The city is very small.

Sheng Quan quickly arrived at the filming location of the program and easily found Tan Chen.

Tan Chen didn't cry.

He leaned against the wall and sat on the steps as if he was thinking about something.

Although he was not caught in the rain directly, his white shirt was mostly wet by the rain that blew in. A strand of his short hair was also wet and hung down. From his flushed cheeks, it could be seen that he had a fever.

Although he had a fever, Tan Chen looked as calm as ever. He even raised his eyes slowly to look at Sheng Quan, then slowly squeezed to the left.

This means that she was going to take this back door and was giving way.

Then Sheng Quan handed him an umbrella.

"Here, this umbrella is not broken."

Hearing the familiar voice, Tan Chen was stunned and blinked slowly.

His eyelashes were very long, and now they were wet from the rain, making them look a little damp, which also made his originally sharp eyes look a little fragile: "You are... Wu Jiangshan?"

Sheng Quan sighed, it turned out that e-sports players have a strong ability to distinguish, even though her face was burnt like this, he could still tell who she was.

Tan Chen slowly came to his senses. He belatedly looked down at his phone, then looked up at Sheng Quan: "It was you who called me just now."

"Are you worried that something might happen to me? Thank you."

After thanking him, Tan Chen thought for two seconds before asking, "You are also in Fangcheng, what a coincidence."

Then he added: "Thank you."

Sheng Quan: "You just realized it?"

How high would the fever be? Fortunately she brought a doctor with her.

As for why she could bring a private doctor with her when she traveled to Fangcheng, and the doctor was willing to come with her, the answer is four words: trip allowance.

Sheng Quan not only brought a doctor, she also bought some other goodies on the way.

When the doctor took his temperature, Tan Chen was already a little more awake.

When he looked at Sheng Quan, the girl in front of him stuffed something into his hand.

He looked down: a string of roasted chicken hearts that looked quite out of place at the moment.

Sheng Quan: "Didn't you eat? Eat, and then have a good sleep."

Tan Chen was stunned for a long time before he picked it up and took a bite.

Sheng Quan asked him, "How does it taste?"

Tan Chen said in a muffled voice: "It tastes terrible."

Sheng Quan couldn’t believe it. How could there be such bad skewers in the world?

She turned around and took a string from He Xi.

After taking a bite, Mr. Sheng immediately showed a mask of pain.

"Pah, pah, pah! No wonder that store has the least people!"

Even if the skewers can be unpalatable, it’s still awesome.

She refused to eat.

Although Tan Chen said the food was unpalatable, he lowered his head slightly and ate quietly, one bite after another.

A tear fell, and then another.

"Thanks."

He found that his voice was a little choked, so he took a deep breath and tried to suppress the emotion:

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

"fine."

Sheng Quan patted his shoulder, and when he looked over with tearful eyes, he nodded in agreement:

“That’s understandable.”

"It's normal for you to cry because it's so unpalatable."
