Chapter 9

Views:

Killer was a little thick-skinned. He was playing with his phone and didn't think much about it. He asked casually, "Who are you seducing, Conquer?"

"That girl who just taught you to dance."

Killer said "oh" and didn't care at first, but suddenly, his eyes opened wide and he was shocked: "She?!"

Van asked curiously, "Why are you so excited?"

"How can I not be excited?!" Killer became more and more excited, "She, do you know who she is?!"

"Who is it?"

"Fish family!"

"who?"

"Fish! Og fish!"

"Who of him?"

“Family members!!”

“… … .”

Everyone took more than ten seconds to digest the thought, and silently lit a candle for Chen Yuzheng in their hearts.

Ultraman's face was full of disapproval, "Why don't we just forget it? We still have to have a bottom line. If you cheat on Fish, how are you going to survive in the industry in the future?"

"... ..."

The killer asked the person involved: "Why are you silent?"

Chen Yuzheng sneered, "Why would I talk to a moron?"

...

...

The filming ended at 1 a.m., and Yu Nuo remembered Yu Jiang's phone call. Next Wednesday was Yu Zhijiang's eighth birthday.

Everyone packed up their peripherals and headed for the parking lot. Yu Nuo thought for a moment and said to Yu Ge, "Brother."

Yu Ge lowered his eyes and glanced at her: "What."

Yu Nuo considered his words carefully, "My brother's birthday is in two days, and my aunt and dad asked us to go back for dinner. Do you have time?"

Yu Ge sneered, "What does that little bastard's birthday have to do with us?"

Yu Nuo didn't say anything, just looked at his feet silently.

Yu Ge thought of something and asked, "Have you been to the hospital recently?"

"Last week."

"What did the doctor say?"

"Almost the same as before." Yu Nuo smiled and changed the subject, "Don't worry, just focus on training, the finals are coming soon. If you don't go to dinner, I'll talk to Dad tomorrow."

"You don't go either."

As they walked forward, Little C started to chatter with Yu Ge again.

There was a person standing in front with his arms folded, leaning against a tree, as if waiting for someone.

Everyone hesitated for a moment, but Chen Yuzheng didn't say anything. Out of politeness, everyone nodded.

Yu Nuo followed at the end of the group and spotted him with his sharp eyes.

After taking a few sneak peeks, he looked left and right.

When she looked back, Chen Yuzheng was already looking at her. His expression was calm, and he stretched out a finger and hooked it at her.

Yu Nuo was slightly surprised and pointed at himself.

Chen Yuzheng nodded.

Yu Nuo looked at Yu Ge with a guilty conscience. He was being pestered by Xiao C and didn't notice the movement here at all.

She hesitated and slowed down.

While the people around her weren't paying attention, she trotted over.

Face to face, Yu Nuo raised his head slightly and asked cautiously: "What's wrong?"

"Add a friend?"

"Ah?" Yu Nuo was confused.

Chen Yuzheng stood up straight, too lazy to say anything, and held the phone in front of her.

There was a faint light on the screen, and Alipay showed a blacked-out interface.

Yu Nuo was stunned.

So that's it... She was just being sentimental.

Her ears turned red and she waved her hands immediately, "You really don't have to pay me back."

When Yu Ge was in the youth training team, he only earned a few thousand yuan a month. Yu Nuo knew the difficulty, so he said with a serious expression, "You just started playing professionally, and you have to spend a lot of money... If you are fined so much..."

It seemed like something was wrong.

Fearing that she might hurt his self-esteem, she added anxiously, "Anyway, I don't have any other intentions... I should have paid for this."

Someone called her in the distance.

Yu Nuo looked back, said goodbye to him hurriedly, and repeated, "You really don't have to pay it back. I'll leave first."

Chen Yuzheng looked at her back and stood there for a while before slowly putting away his phone.

The next day, Yu Nuo was woken up by the alarm clock.

The curtains of the dormitory were not yet opened. Yu Nuo sat up with the quilt in his arms and began to daydream as usual, emptying his mind for a while.

Her cold hadn't healed yet, her throat was dry, she had the habitual tinnitus, and her head still hurt a little.

I climbed out of bed groggily.

Liang Xi was sitting in a chair, talking on the phone. When he heard the noise, he looked up at her and said, "Nunuo, you're awake."

Yu Nuo nodded sleepily.

It was a sunny day outside today. Yu Nuo came out of the bathroom after brushing his teeth and found Liang Xi lying on his desk crying.

She was a little confused.

Afraid of disturbing Liang Xi, Yu Nuo quietly opened the wardrobe and changed clothes.

I picked up my phone and took a look. It was only a little after nine o'clock.

Having no appetite just after getting up, Yu Nuo picked up the bread he bought yesterday and ate two bites. He opened the book and began to read the materials related to the thesis.

Liang Xi cried for a while, turned around and called her hoarsely.

Yu Nuo stopped and said, "Hmm?"

Liang Xi took a piece of paper and blew his nose, "You don't even ask me what's wrong."

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I had a fight with my boyfriend."

Yu Nuo nodded in understanding.

Liang Xi didn't know what went wrong with her boyfriend recently. They had been quarreling for several days. Last night, she squatted on the balcony and cried for half an hour. Other roommates went to comfort her, but Liang Xi didn't say anything, so Yu Nuo didn't take the initiative to ask.

"Nono, I have a favor to ask of you. But it's okay if you don't want to."

"What's up?"

"That's right. Didn't I tell you before that I already found a job?" Liang Xi began to choke up again as he spoke.

Yu Nuo quickly pulled out a few more pieces of paper and handed them over, "Don't cry first, then what?"

"I may not be able to go." Liang Xi sobbed and spoke intermittently, "I have been arguing with my boyfriend about this recently. We are in a long-distance relationship, and he hopes that after I graduate, I will go to his workplace to accompany him. He asked me to tell the club to quit my job."

"Didn't you discuss this with him before?"

Liang Xi shook his head.

Yu Nuo didn't know how to deal with this problem. She thought for a moment and asked, "So what are you going to do now?"

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, I know what he meant." Liang Xi said disappointedly, "Long-distance relationships won't last long, but I really like him."

Yu Nuo comforted her, "It probably hasn't come to that yet."

Liang Xi looked depressed and was silent for a while. "Oh, forget it. I'm planning to quit my job here anyway."

"Have you thought about it?"

"Almost done, but there is still one problem." Liang Xi was a little embarrassed, looking at Yu Nuo with hesitation, "The job was introduced by my best friend, and they seem to be in a hurry to hire someone. I agreed to it before, and all I need to do is sign the three-party agreement. Now if I give up, I'm afraid it will be difficult for my best friend. So I want to introduce another one to them."

Yu Nuo reacted, "Me?"

Liang Xi explained, "Because we were chatting before, I heard you say you were considering joining an e-sports club, so I thought of you. The treatment there is very good, and it is also a normal three-party contract."

Seeing Yu Nuo didn't say anything, Liang Xi felt a little embarrassed, "Don't be embarrassed. It's okay if you don't want to."

Yu Nuo groaned, "Let me think about it."

"Really?!" Liang Xi put down the heavy burden in his heart, jumped up from the chair in an instant, and hugged Yu Nuo with emotion, "Wow, it's really great that you are willing to help. I knew that Nuo Nuo is the most talkative little angel!"

Yu Nuo was strangled by her and couldn't breathe, "No... Let me go first." She was still a little hesitant, "But... If someone suddenly changes, will the other side..."

"No." Liang Xi assured her confidently, "Your GPA is much higher than mine, you are a careful person, and your major is suitable. If you want to go, others will definitely be willing. I just think that my best friend went out of her way to help me, and I don't want to embarrass her. You can go and take a look at the situation first, and then sign if you think it's okay."

Yu Nuo nodded, "Then do I need to prepare anything?"

"No, no." Liang Xi patted his head, "Do you have a resume? Just send me a copy."

Someone added Yu Nuo on WeChat in the evening.

It should be the staff of the club. They chatted online for a few minutes. The other party seemed very satisfied.

Qiqi: It's getting late, so I won't disturb you. Are you free tomorrow? We can talk in person. Don't be nervous, it's not a formal interview.

Yu Nuo agreed.

There were basically no classes in the senior year. Yu Nuo went to see his tutor in the morning to report on the progress of his thesis and then returned to the dormitory.

The wind wasn’t very strong today, so Yu Nuo didn’t tie her hair up and put on some light makeup.

The appointment was at the door of a coffee shop, and the other party arrived ten minutes earlier than Yu Nuo.

She is a very capable looking sister, wearing a professional suit and with short hair.

Yu Nuo trotted a few steps and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I came here by bus and there was a bit of traffic on the road."

"It's okay. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qi Yanan."

Yu Nuo: "Hello, my name is Yu Nuo."

"The base is nearby. I'll show you around."

Yu Nuo: “Okay.”

On the way, Qi Yanan asked about her situation and they chatted for a while. "Your roommate has also told you about it. Let me give you a brief introduction. We are in the e-sports industry. Do you know anything about this?"

Yu Nuo said honestly: "I know a little bit... not much."

Qi Yanan nodded: "It's okay, our club has just started, so it's not well-known yet. But don't worry, we are very formal, and I can take you to visit the base later. The probation period is three months, and you need to sign an agreement first, and then you will be given a formal contract after you become a regular employee."

On the way to the base, Qi Yanan suddenly thought of something, "By the way, girl, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ah? Me?" Yu Nuo shook his head, "I haven't yet."

"Don't mind me, I'm just gossiping." Qi Yanan smiled, "There are a lot of boys in our club because of the nature of our work. But it's okay, you don't have to stay in the base all the time, so you have more free time. In addition, we have about six or seven months of the season a year, which is quite busy. If the other players are on vacation, you can also take vacation with them. Oh, and if there are games outside the city, or if we go abroad, you may be asked to follow the team."

Yu Nuo nodded to show that he understood.

Qi Yanan led her inside and introduced as they walked, "Because we were a little late in attracting investment, the base here was built not long ago. Although it is in the suburbs, it is not far from the city. There are several busy pedestrian streets nearby, many places to eat, and there is also a subway."

Yu Nuo nodded as he listened and looked around.

Similar to OG, this club is also a small villa. Perhaps to avoid affecting the training, there are almost no businesses around except a few convenience stores. In the afternoon, there were not many people passing by, and it seemed very quiet.

After walking for a while, they could see the large glass door of the base. Yu Nuo casually glanced at the team logo hanging on the top.

Yu Nuo was startled and stopped in his tracks.

She was completely stunned.

Below the familiar golden team logo, there is a line of equally familiar names:

—thorn game e-sports club.

Qi Yanan turned around, looked at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Nuo hadn't come back to his senses yet, "You, the club is tg?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Yu Nuo confirmed again: "Yes, is it the TG from LPL?"

"That's it. I thought you weren't from the industry, so I didn't introduce you to me." Qi Yanan said, "So you know it."

"I..." Yu Nuo didn't know what to say, "I understand a little bit."

"Oh, that's good." Qi Yanan smiled and pushed open the door. "Come in with me."

"... ..."

Yu Nuo hesitated for a moment, but she couldn't turn around and leave in this situation. She had to follow.

In the office on the third floor, tg's management also talked to Yu Nuo. When the discussion was almost over, the other party directly took out the agreement.

The contract was in front of her, and Yu Nuo felt mixed emotions. Thinking of Liang Xi's pitiful appearance, she sighed inwardly.

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

There are still three months left in the internship period, we’ll talk about it then.

After signing, Qi Yanan took her around the base and said, "We eat on the first floor, and the team members usually train on the second floor. The third floor is where we hold meetings..."

As they were talking, a man came over and Qi Yanan introduced him casually, "This is one of our team members."

Yu Nuo nodded.

Killer yawned, glanced at Yu Nuo indifferently, and looked away. Two seconds later, he suddenly looked at Yu Nuo again and opened his mouth.

He thought he was seeing things, pointed at her, and said incredulously: "Why is it you?!"

Yu Nuo was extremely embarrassed by his reaction, "It's... me."

"... ..."

Killer checked it carefully again from beginning to end. He still couldn't believe it and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yu Nuo explained: "I'm here to apply for a nutritionist position, but I'm only an intern right now."

Qi Lan cursed, "Why are you so excited? Go back to training."

Killer finally came back to his senses and walked back like a sleepwalker, muttering, "There is no place in life where we don't meet each other."

...

...

When I was going downstairs, I unexpectedly ran into someone else.

Chen Yuzheng was about to go upstairs. He seemed to have just woken up, wearing a normal T-shirt, with sleepy eyes and a bottle of ice water in his hand.

Qi Yanan said: "This is also a player from TG. Do you know him? His name is Conquer."

Yu Nuo nodded nervously.

Chen Yuzheng noticed something strange, paused as he was twisting the bottle cap, and slowed down his steps as he went up the stairs.

Yu Nuo looked up quietly.

Bumped into a pair of dark eyes.

Qi Yanan was slow to speak, and pointed at Yu Nuo, "Come on, conquer, recognize this person, our team's new nutritionist."

Chen Yuzheng looked calm and nodded symbolically. He looked away calmly and continued upstairs without any extra glances.

As they passed each other, Yu Nuo didn't dare to move, his heart still pounding.

I didn’t dare look back.

He just looked at her like a complete stranger...

Ultraman was the second to last to arrive at the training room. As soon as he entered, he noticed that the atmosphere today was a bit strange. "What's wrong? No one is talking."

Killer said mysteriously: "There's a nutritionist on our team. She's pretty. I know her."

"What? Beautiful girl!"

Ultraman's eyes lit up, he turned around and tried to go out, but bumped into Chen Yuzheng at the door.

"Has the nutritionist left?" He stretched his neck to look outside. "Who is it? Who is it? I want to see it, too."

Chen Yuzheng blocked the door, lazily pinching Ultraman's neck and turning his head back, "What are you looking at?"

Ultraman was suspicious: "Why, you know him too?"

“Yes.”

"Who is she?"

Chen Yuzheng raised his eyes slightly and said lightly: "I am your creditor."
