Chapter 9
The boy's body temperature was very low, and Gu Yuan felt as if he had touched ice, and could not feel any human touch.
Although he was looking at her, his light-colored pupils had no focus and his long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, like the flapping wings of a butterfly.
Gu Yuan frowned, moved the back of his hand down, and stroked the side of Su Zheye's face again.
"Night."
He whispered, "Do I need to take you to the hospital?"
Su Zheye bit his tongue, slowly focused his eyes, and then immediately stood up.
"Feel sorry."
He supported his left hand on the table, smiled at Gu Yuan, shook hands and bowed as if nothing had happened.
When she bent down, a strand of long hair fell and brushed against Gu Yuan's wrist.
Causes a slight itch.
Gu Yuan pursed his lips but still said nothing.
On the other hand, the commentator deliberately changed the topic, from Gu Yuan's performance as the quantum killer last year, to the SEA semi-finals, and then to the predictions for tomorrow's All-Star awards.
However, since it was a live broadcast after all, the audience in the live broadcast room still noticed that Su Zheye did not stand up and shake hands with Gu Yuan immediately.
The director's camera was not very close, and the monitor blocked the interaction between Gu Yuan and Su Zheye, and did not capture the action of Su Zheye covering his chest in the picture.
The barrage of comments instantly exploded.
[Uh, can't Night stand losing? Why is he giving Ruins the cold shoulder? ]
[He has always had a bad relationship with Ruins. XY lost to SEA in the summer finals this year. He must hate Chief Gu even more.]
[The camera didn't zoom in on the contestant just now. There must be something hidden. How could Night refuse to shake hands with someone? 】
[Here we go again, Night has so many filial sons, are you blind or brainless, you can even wash this. 】
"Fuck."
Liang Wenxi was shocked: "What is Zhe Ye doing? Isn't he going to..."
XY's leader Xu Yicong said, "He hasn't always been like this. He takes advantage of his fans to do whatever he wants. We've covered up for him so many times. I don't know what's wrong with him these past two days. He's still acting like a big shot."
Liang Wenxi was stunned for a moment and realized that Xu Yicong had misunderstood what he meant.
Just as he was about to say something, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was inconvenient to answer the phone at the All-Stars event, so Liang Wenxi was about to hang up when he suddenly saw the note: [Qin Yu'an]
Qin Yu'an is the son of the owner of the XY Club, but now the big boss has the intention of handing the club over to him, so Qin Yu'an is Liang Wenxi's future boss.
Didn’t he just go abroad for a trip some time ago? Why is he using a domestic mobile phone number?
Liang Wenxi didn't dare to hang up, so he could only answer: "Little boss, you're back?"
"In Shenzhen, I'll be back tomorrow."
A voice with an upturned ending came from the other side, sounding a bit cynical: "Who has offended us again?"
Liang Wenxi was startled, and then said: "You are also watching the live broadcast, he... Oh, I don't know what's wrong with him, I guess he is in a bad mood."
Qin Yu'an was silent for a few seconds: "There's still one day left for the All-Stars, right? It's okay, I'll go back to the base the day after tomorrow. I just happened to bring some raw chocolate to Zhe Ye, and then I'll go out with him to relax."
Liang Wenxi touched his nose.
Ever since Su Zheye joined XY, the boss has always been very good to Su Zheye. Whenever he goes out to travel, he will bring him some local specialties and also give him very expensive gifts during festivals.
Anyone can see that Qin Yu'an likes Su Zheye very much.
So when Su Zheye said he wanted to transfer to SEA, Liang Wenxi had no idea how to tell Qin Yu'an.
Eh.
just.
Qin Yu'an is so good to Su Zheye, so if he can persuade him and play the emotional card, maybe Su Zheye will not leave.
An idea suddenly occurred to Liang Wenxi, and he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Oh, by the way, little boss, don't be angry if I tell you something. Zhe Ye...he wants to transfer to SEA, and he has already gone to SEA for a trial. Why don't you...persuade him in person?"
The other side was obviously stunned.
After a while, Qin Yu'an spoke, emphasizing each word: "Su Zheye is leaving?"
His tone was full of disbelief: "Say it again? Is it Su Zheye who wants to leave?"
Liang Wenxi gritted his teeth and said "hmm".
The air fell into silence.
After a while, he heard Qin Yu'an's voice again, suppressing his anger: "Stay here, no matter what means you use, you must stay here. Su Zheye actually wants to leave, he must be too arrogant. I will go back to the base tomorrow afternoon."
After saying this, Qin Yu'an hung up the phone.
Liang Wenxi was so sad that he could not even cry.
He knew that Qin Yu'an was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, had been spoiled since childhood, and had to get whatever he wanted, and his temper was somewhat unpredictable.
He also knew that although Su Zheye seemed easy to talk to, he would not change his mind once he made up his mind, especially since his attitude towards him and other people in XY suddenly became cold recently, and it was obvious that he did not want to stay.
Caught between these two people, Liang Wenxi felt that he would rather die.
never mind.
Tomorrow he will try to reduce his presence and wait for Qin Yu'an to talk to Su Zheye.
-
After Su Zheye shook hands with the other four people on the stage, he sat back in his gaming chair and slowly packed up his peripherals.
As soon as he stepped off the stage, 555 came over and said, "Brother Su, Brother Su."
Su Zheye raised his eyes: "Hmm?"
"You just now...did you not want to shake hands with Chief Gu?"
Su Zheye was startled, and just as he was about to speak, he heard 555 say, "Brother Su, you are a senior, and you must have experienced more than me, but I still want to advise you, no matter how much you dislike it in your heart, don't show it on the surface, especially if the haters see it, otherwise they will catch this and criticize you for the rest of your life."
After saying that, 555 made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Su Zheye laughed: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
555 gave him a positive gesture and said, "Brother Su, it's really fun to play with you. How about considering TRG?"
Su Zheye smiled: "It's also fun to play with you. Thank you for the 240 yuan. I will try to pay it back to you in the All-Star Game next year."
"What do you mean?"
Gao caught up from behind. He and 555 were in the same team. "Can you bring Su Ge to TRG?"
555 didn't care much about being rejected by Su Zheye in disguise. After all, he was just talking casually. If Su Zheye wanted to go to TRG, he would have contacted their club a long time ago.
555 looked regretful and said to Gao, "That's not going to work. Brother Su still has to stay in XY. We can't poach him away."
“What a pity.”
Gao looked at Su Zheye and said, "The food in TRG is much better than that in XY. Brother Su, you are so thin, you have to come to TRG to recuperate."
Su Zheye curled his eyes and said nothing.
555 patted Gao, then waved to Su Zheye: "Then we'll go change clothes first. See you later, Brother Su."
Gao also waved his hand: "Brother Su, let's drink together some other day. See you later!"
Su Zheye responded.
When I was almost at the lounge, a low voice suddenly came from behind me: "Hello."
Su Zheye turned around and looked down, only to see Lu Yang, who looked reluctant.
He didn't turn around: "What's wrong?"
"I...you..."
Lu Yang pursed her lips and said after a while: "Are you okay?"
Su Zheye raised his eyebrows: "What?"
"Are you sick? I noticed you didn't feel well before shaking hands with Captain Gu."
This kid is so awkward even when caring about someone.
However, the AD position was just to the right of the mid unit, and the handshake order was right after himself. 555 didn’t see it because he was far away, but Lu Yang probably saw himself covering his chest.
"It's all right."
Su Zheye said.
He was about to move forward, but Lu Yang called out "Hello" again.
Su Zheye simply turned around and said: "I'm not called 'Hey', I have a name, if you call me like that again I will ignore you."
Lu Yang choked.
His cheeks flushed a little, and he tightened his fingers around the peripheral device and said slowly, "Night."
Su Zheye: “Yeah.”
Lu Yang didn't dare to look him in the eye, and said in a low voice: "I'm just curious, why didn't you explain to 555 just now?"
Su Zheye: "What do you want to explain?"
"Explain that you are not feeling well, not that you don't want to shake hands with Captain Gu."
Su Zheye: "What's there to explain?"
Lu Yang choked again.
Seeing that Su Zheye was about to turn around and leave, he hurriedly said: "Wait, Night, if you want to explain, I can... I can testify for you. After all, Gu Yuan and I are on the same team. In the eyes of his fans, I will definitely not favor you."
"ah?"
Su Zheye looked at him with a little confusion, and repeated: "What is there to explain?"
Lu Yang was stunned, then his eyes widened: "It's just like what 555 said just now. If you don't explain, you will be criticized by haters. Captain Gu is very popular, and there are many fans who blindly follow the trend. And if there is a black spot, you will be criticized for this matter throughout your career."
"oh."
Su Zheye said calmly: "Let them talk, what does it have to do with me?"
"Su Zheye."
Lu Yang was immediately anxious: "How can you be completely indifferent to other people's opinions when playing professionally? Don't you know how bad the insults from those black fans are? If you don't explain, they will get even worse."
"Lu Yang."
Su Zheye also called his name, his tone calm: "We can't make everyone satisfied with us, it's enough to do our best. And..."
After a pause, he smiled and said, "Do haters need a reason to insult others?"
Su Zheye didn't care whether he taught the kid a lesson or not, and turned and went into the locker room.
After changing his clothes, he hung up his All-Star uniform, thought about it, and instead of going back to the audience directly, he went into the bathroom.
He lit a cigarette and took two puffs when the inner door opened and a familiar figure walked out.
Seeing him here, Straw was also stunned, and then called out: "Brother Su."
Su Zheye glanced at him and said nothing.
"Give me a cigarette, Brother Su."
Straw said in a friendly voice.
There was silence between the two for a few seconds. Su Zheye took out a cigarette box from his pocket, but instead of handing it directly to Straw, he placed it on the sink next to him.
"Thank you."
Straw took it and realized that Su Zheye would not give him a light, so he put the cigarette in his mouth and lit it himself.
The air fell into silence again for a long time. Seeing that Su Zheye had put out his cigarette, Straw suddenly said, "Brother Su, that..."
He swallowed and said, "I don't know what to say. Maybe I made you unhappy some time ago. If you have any opinions about me, just tell me clearly. We still have to play together in the future. It's not a good idea to have a cold war like this, Brother Su."
Su Zheye raised his eyes.
"No, Brother Su, I didn't mean to scold you that day. You suddenly wanted to hit me and I cursed subconsciously. How about you beat me up again to vent your anger?"
Su Zheye looked at Straw's expression of flattery and admitting his fault, and was silent for a few seconds: "No need."
"But we still have to play games together later, so it's not a good idea to continue like this..."
"Let's talk about it later."
Su Zheye interrupted him and left the bathroom directly.
Straw looked at his back and called out "Brother Su".
Not getting a response, Straw stood there for a while, but his expression showed no anger.
He puffed on his cigarette butt a few times, threw it away, and his eyes intentionally or unintentionally passed over a cubicle behind him before he walked out.
After a moment, the inner door was opened from the inside.
Huang Heran stood in front of the pit and didn't come out for a long time.
His expression was somewhat complicated, with shock mixed with disbelief and a bit of reluctance to believe.
After a while, Huang Heran regained consciousness and muttered to himself: "Damn it, I heard some inside information, Night...why is he still beating people up? Shit..."
He stood there in a daze for a minute. Just as he took out his cell phone, he suddenly saw Gu Yuan, who had also changed his clothes, walk in from the corner of his eye.
Huang Heran rushed over immediately as if a savior had arrived: "Gu Yuan, Gu Yuan Gu Yuan Gu Yuan!"
Gu Yuan paused: "Hmm?"
The words came to my lips but I didn't know how to say them.
Huang Heran scratched his head: "Well, do you still remember telling me that there was a problem with XY management?"
Gu Yuan: “Remember.”
"are you sure?"
As if he felt that his question was ambiguous, Huang Heran added: "That is, are you sure that Night left the team because of problems with XY management?"
Gu Yuan: “Indeed.”
Huang Heran looked confused: "How do you know... No, I'm not questioning you, I..."
Although he was not familiar with Su Zheye before, as they were both in the e-sports circle, he had heard a little about Su Zheye's professionalism and good temper.
The result is now like this...
If it was Straw alone who said that Su Zheye beat him, Huang Heran would not believe it at all. However, in the conversation just now, Su Zheye did not deny it. Instead, he said "let's talk about it later", directly acknowledging that he beat someone.
It even means that I will fight again.
No matter how outstanding one's abilities are, being arrogant, arbitrary, and unable to get along well with teammates are all taboos in teamwork.
From the perspective of a team manager, such players are absolutely unacceptable.
Huang Heran simply said directly: "Just now I heard Night beating someone in the team."
Gu Yuan frowned: "Hit someone?"
"XY's assistant, Straw, said that Night beat him and isolated him, and Night did not deny it."
Huang Heran repeated to Gu Yuan the conversation he had heard.
"And he... doesn't want to shake your hand? He has something against you, too, Gu Yuan. It's easier said than done. After he came to SEA, his relationship with his teammates became problematic, and that's hard to handle. Now that the formal contract hasn't been signed, I can come forward to cancel the contract, or find an excuse to say it's inappropriate, which is better than him giving you the cold shoulder or even hitting you after he comes to SEA."
"manager."
Gu Yuan said slowly: "Night didn't want to shake hands with me, he was just not feeling well. He even apologized to me."
Huang Heran was stunned: "Ah?"
"besides."
After saying these two words, Gu Yuan suddenly fell silent.
Huang Heran kept staring at him with his eyes wide open, until his eyes felt sore, but he still didn't get any further news.
So Huang Heran exclaimed “Ah?” again.
After a long while, Gu Yuan continued, "There is a hidden reason why Night treats Straw badly. Straw did something to let him down."
Gu Yuan's voice was very calm: "Trust me."
