Shen Huai did not accompany the team back to the hotel, but sent Shen Nuo back to the crew. The father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time. Even during the New Year's Eve last year, they just chatted a few words in the video.
The two got into the car, and Shen Nuo couldn't let go of Shen Huai's hand. When his son was by his side, it was not pleasing to the eye, but he didn't see it for half a year, and the more he looked, the better he felt. Thinking that he was busy with work and rarely sent videos to Shen Huai on his own initiative. Even Assistant Jin asked about his son's current situation to tell him, so he felt that his father was very incompetent.
"How are you doing? Are you tired of playing e-sports?"
Shen Huai said truthfully, "Very good, it's not as hard as acting."
Shen Nuo frowned, "That's because you don't care. If you put your heart into acting, it's not hard to act..."
"Cough cough!" Assistant Jin coughed twice, and Shen Nuo immediately closed his mouth.
Assistant Jin turned his head and smiled, "The kids don't want you to worry, how can there be hard work in this world? They play e-sports every day from morning to night, sitting all day long. The club will also set a live broadcast time and accompany sponsors. It's a common thing for the boss to play games, even pushing can't be pushed, it's no easier than acting."
Shen Nuo sat up straight, "My son doesn't want anyone to force him? What rubbish sponsors, we will buy them tomorrow."
Shen Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Uncle Jin, it's not as complicated as you think. I'm pretty good in the team. We negotiated when I signed the contract. I won't be forced to endorse or broadcast live, it's all voluntary."
Assistant Jin was a little surprised, "And this good thing? I thought which club signed you would definitely treat you as a cash cow."
Shen Huai smiled, "It's the conditions that the captain negotiated for me. He is Fengyue's cash cow, and the top management of the club respects his opinion."
Shen Nuo nodded, "Your captain is a shrewd person, you should learn more from him, so as not to be fooled by others when you inherit my company in the future, the circle you are in contact with is still too simple, no one will deliberately want to harm you, You'll find out later."
When Shen Nuo was talking, he realized that he had started preaching again, so he changed the subject consciously, "Why didn't you play in today's game?"
When it comes to the game, Shen Huai always has a lot of words, "The performance of the wild card game will affect the players' world rankings. There are many players in the team who are not ranked in the world. When the opponents are not strong, I want to try to let them play as much as possible. "
Shen Nuo was very satisfied, "You did the right thing, the strong should have the temperament of the strong, there is no need to care about the little things."
A few people arrived at the crew, and immediately some staff came running non-stop, "Mr. Shen, are you back? The director asked me to ask if you can start work earlier?"
As soon as Shen Huai heard it, he knew that the previous rhetoric of "the crew was on vacation" were all false.
Assistant Jin said, "Mr. Shen just came back, let him rest for a while."
Shen Nuo interrupted him immediately, "It's alright, I've been sitting for a long time, just in time for activities."
Assistant Jin reluctantly persuaded, "Can't you rest for a while when you have an old bone? Do you still think you are young?"
"I said it's okay, it's okay," Shen Nuo said very stubbornly, and walked away with a wave of his hand, taking two steps to remember that his son was still behind him.
Shen Huai waved to him, "You go, I'll go back now, pay attention to your body."
Shen Nuo asked, "Anyway, you're here, come and play a cameo role with me and then go?"
"No."
"It won't be long, and I haven't acted with you for a long time."
Shen Huai shook his head, "Dad, I'm an e-sports player, not an actor."
Shen Nuo gave him a deep look and sighed. The biggest regret in his life was that Shen Huai couldn't go on the road of acting with him. He had all the skills he wanted to teach Shen Huai, but he didn't. Rare.
But thinking about it again, Shen Huai's son may not like to play e-sports in the future, maybe he loves acting again? People say that it is inherited from generation to generation. His wish can't be realized in Shen Huai, maybe it can be realized in his grandson
Thinking about it like this, I feel more at ease.
"Okay, you go."
Shen Huai watched his father walk into the set, and the staff he met along the way respected him very much. He seemed to be encouraged, and his heart was full of strength.
Assistant Jin drove him back, and the two chatted on the road. Assistant Jin has been with Shen Nuo for 30 years, and Shen Huai was taken by him for a while when he was a child, and the two chatted like a father and son.
"Your father always said that you are not like him. If you want me to see it, you two are just printed out of the same mold. The same stubbornness, no one else can tell you what to decide, the same hard work, and only focus on your career. It's just that what did your father say? , you kid has everything in my heart, which worries me even more. Shen Nuo has a bad temper. He has gotten better in recent years, but he still has that bad temper. If you don't want to tell him about anything in the future, you can talk to your uncle. , even if you made a mistake, uncle can also help you persuade your dad."
Shen Huai just nodded at first, and his eyes changed when he heard the back. Seeing his expression, Assistant Jin guessed that he had something to say, but he didn't ask, but patiently waited for Shen Huai to say it himself.
When the car arrived, Shen Huai said, "Uncle Jin, I'm in love."
Assistant Jin's eyes lit up, "This is a good thing! It's not normal for you to fall in love at this age? What dare you let your dad know? Don't look at your dad's usual seriousness, and he has reached the age where he thinks about hugging his grandson. already."
Shen Huai opened the door and got out of the car, turned his head and smiled and said, "Uncle Jin, don't tell my dad first, and then help me persuade me."
"Hey." Assistant Jin responded with a happy heart, looking at Shen Huai's back and couldn't help humming.
"Young people are really interesting, and they're still sneaky about falling in love... Hey, no, what do you mean by asking me to persuade me? Come back to me!"
Shen Huai didn't stop, turned around and gave him a "shush" gesture, the bright smile in the corner of his eyes made Assistant Jin suddenly have a bad feeling.
When Shen Huai walked to the door of the hotel, he received a message from Guan He, and he was left at the scene to wait for the draw.
Guan He: The next game in Italy.
Below is a schedule map.
The wild card game progressed very quickly, half of the players were wiped out in the first round, and half of the teams were eliminated in today's quarterfinals.
Half an hour after the end of the Chinese team's game, the American team and the Japanese team, who started the game in Hall B at the same time, also divided the winner and the loser. The Japanese team was relatively unlucky this year.
The teams that made it to the semi-finals were China, the United States, the Nordic team and the Italian team. Every year, Italy should be the British team, but this year, the British team met the Chinese team in the first round of the quarter-finals and failed to play. into the quarterfinals.
Guan He was lucky. Italy was the weakest among these teams. Shen Huai was not worried about losing this match, but he really wanted to see the match between the US team and the Nordic team.
He returned to the room, Song Xueyang was making a video with Fan Jingming, asking him about everyone's training, and Shen Huai also came over to listen.
"Everyone has made a lot of progress. During this period of time, they are training hard, and they are looking forward to your return, which will surprise you."
Song Xueyang teased, "Then when I go back, I have to pretend to be a little more like, lest the little guys be disappointed."
Fan Jingming was not happy anymore, "Yoyo, you still don't believe me, you'll know when you come back, especially Hai Xing, who has been ruthless recently."
"Keep an eye on him, don't let him use too much force, we still have two games here, and the World Championship is about to start. Extremes will turn out to be counterproductive, and it is also very important to recharge your batteries."
"Got it, Mother Song."
Fan Jingming said hello to Shen Huai after reporting the training situation, "Hello Shen Huai, congratulations on your first victory, why didn't you play today? Fans are looking forward to you teaching those crooked nuts to be human!"
Shen Huai asked strangely, "The wild card lineup has been announced? Isn't the video of the game going to be released after the World Finals is over?"
Fan Jingming was even more surprised than he was, "No, Shen Huai, you haven't read Weibo yet? The Esports Association has officially announced the lineup for this year's Wild Card Tournament, but there is no video of the game, but isn't there an exclusive text commentary from the American media? , the translation and translation will be put up."
Shen Huai understood, "I just came back and haven't watched it yet."
Fan Jingming crossed Erlang's legs and said excitedly, "Then I suggest you must go and see, and then you will know how powerful the fans are."
Song Xueyang interjected, "Okay, don't be rude. You lead the team well, and we'll be back in a few days."
Fan Jingming squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, "This is an expulsion order, right? Okay, I won't disturb you two, I'll hang it up. I wish you a successful victory and come back soon!"
After that, the video was hung up.
Shen Huai took out his phone and asked, "Have you read Weibo?"
Song Xueyang remembered something and said with a smile, "They said you were an image ambassador."
Shen Huai raised his eyebrows, "They really dare to write."
He flipped through Weibo and first saw the official lineup of the Wild Card Tournament released by the E-Sports Association. Below is a group photo of all of them wearing their team uniforms, the red Chinese team uniforms, and the golden letters of Lonng on the chest. The majestic dragon looks very spiritual.
Not long after the game ended, there were already more than 100,000 comments. This is the year that has attracted the most attention since the wild card tournament started, obviously because of the special participants this year.
[What is the Wild Card Tournament? Xiaobai seeks popular science!]
[The Wild Card Tournament is a competition used to determine the number of places each country can participate in the World Championship that year. It is held half a month before the World Championship starts, but isn’t it just that the domestic champion teams used to participate? How did you temporarily form a team this year?]
[Look carefully at the text content! Because players who participate in the wild card tournament from this year can also be ranked in the world, they are drawn from each team. What a magical team this is! Guan team, Xiao Shen, Yushen Snow God, this lineup can play crooked nuts and doubt life! Ahh! I really want to see the live video of the wild card game! No live broadcast is not open!]
[The video of the Wild Card Tournament will not be released until the end of the World Championship. Click me to watch the first text commentary of the Chinese team.]
Shen Huai clicked in, it was the translated text, and after reading two paragraphs, he switched to the computer to watch the original English version.
There is a special wild card album on the official website. Shen Huai clicks into the catalog of Loong VS Beer, and the following is the exclusive text commentary of each game. The text commentary is quite attentive. From 2V2 to 1V1, each game has a description and a picture. Among them, there are only a few sentences about Shen Huai. One is that he is present at the game as an image spokesperson, and the other is that he is guessing whether he will play in the future.
What he said was vague, and he didn't give an accurate answer, but after reading the whole article, it gave people the feeling that he was just here as a vase.
When I went back and looked at the Weibo link in my mobile phone, the few sentences he translated were highlighted, and there were also a few smirking emojis, and the comments below were even more mind-blowing.
[Image ambassador! Hhh, they really dare to say that the last person who thought this way has been abused and doubted his life!]
[Ah! Everyone in the Loong team is so handsome! Ask Yushen to play 1V2, 1V6! I want to see the scene!]
[Don't you check Yushin's game results before the foreign media commentary? Just look at Yushen's competition results in China to know that he is not a vase, right?]
[Foreign media will only look at the players’ World Championship results. If we check the national competition information of each player in each team one by one, I’m afraid we won’t be able to see this text commentary until a week later. Forgive them! However, sooner or later they will regret their slack today! Hahaha!]
[Everyone of the Loong team cheers! When I have a 1v3 match, they will know how terrifying ambassadors are! At that time Yushen said, "I'm really just an image ambassador." Foreign teams: "Is China's e-sports so strong?" Hahaha! The picture is so strong!]
Shen Huai looked at it for a while and shook his head, "Their expectations of me are too high."
Song Xueyang asked, "Are you worried?"
Shen Huai shook his head, "The only thing I'm worried about now is the U.S. team. Their lineup is the original team of the two teams, and the tacit understanding is definitely better than ours. It is also possible that they received a tip from Sun Yuan during the training camp, and they have something to do with us. prevention."
Song Xueyang smiled slightly, "I asked Captain Green today, and he said that someone leaked our lineup to him before, and it specifically mentioned that there was a very powerful assassin, but his English was too bad to explain, and the British team thought that The assassin is Luo Lie. I think after today's battle, there will be more people who think so."
He was right, for example, Takuma Miura, who was reminded by Captain Green that his position as the No. 1 assassin in the world could not be maintained just after the game against Team USA.
The team member said indifferently, "I don't believe that someone's assassin is stronger than Miura's predecessor, not to mention I heard that the Chinese team's assassin player is only 17 years old this year, how can he be the opponent of the predecessor? Green must be alarmist."
Miura Takuma squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, "Is it true, we will go to the scene tomorrow and see. We won't have a chance to meet them in the wild card competition, and we will encounter them in the World Championships. We can just inquire about the details of the Chinese team in advance."
He has been number one in the world for a long time, and he wants to meet an equal opponent.
