"Qin Ye, he... has decided to retire..."
This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Li Xiang was suddenly stunned. He stared at Liu Chuan with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "What did you say? Qin Ye is going to retire?!"
Liu Chuan's face was also rarely serious, and he whispered, "I only found out three days ago, Xu Xinran told me that Qin Ye was going to retire, and asked me to persuade Qin Ye. I haven't contacted him for the past two days. Yesterday was the final of the South China Division of the University League, which will affect your state, so I didn't tell you for the time being."
Now it seems that he was right to hide it from Li Xiang for the time being. Li Xiang cared more about Qin Ye than Liu Chuan had imagined. If he knew the bad news before the match, Li Xiang would definitely not be able to concentrate, and it would affect his influence. school team results.
Seeing that it was inconvenient to speak when his roommate was coming back, Liu Chuan sighed and said, "Qin Ye's phone has been turned off. I'll ask Zewen to go to dinner first. Let's chat while we eat..."
Liu Chuan patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and went upstairs to call Wu Zewen.
Li Xiang stayed where he was, frowning tightly. He couldn't imagine what Qin Ye had endured during this time. Even though Liu Chuan had already said that Qin Ye's most likely retirement would be to retire, he really heard the news. , Li Xiang still can't accept it! In his eyes, Qin Ye is always so outstanding, so dazzling, and such an outstanding player actually ended his career like this. Li Xiang is very unwilling, and he is even more heartbroken for Qin Ye!
Liu Chuan soon came down with Wu Zewen and asked Li Xiang to go to dinner.
Along the way, the three did not speak.
During this period of time, I often played dungeons with Qin Ye's trumpet in online games to do quests. They have long regarded Qin Ye as a friend. Last night, the joy of the school team's just qualifying from the South China Division was now "retired by Qin Ye" The cold water poured down from the basin was completely washed away, and the faces of the three were a little heavy.
He went to the small restaurant on the second floor of the school and found a small private room to sit down. Liu Chuan ordered a few dishes at random, and the dishes were served, but the three of them had no appetite.
Li Xiang frowned and said, "Qin Ye's phone is turned off, don't you want to contact us?"
Liu Chuan said, "Xu Xinran told me that Qin Ye went out to relax. She doesn't know exactly where she went, but I guess he should go to Singapore, where his sister is."
Li Xiang was surprised: "He also has a sister?"
Liu Chuan said, "That's right, his sister's name is Qin Shuang, and she works as a doctor in Singapore."
Li Xiang's mood suddenly became a little complicated. He suddenly felt that he knew too little about Qin Ye, too little, he didn't even know Qin Ye and a sister! The only Qin Ye he knew was that famous assassin in the professional circle, Ye Xiu with countless fans, the vice-captain of the Chang'an team... Aside from his identity as a professional player, what kind of person is Qin Ye in reality? What kind of family background do you have? He was completely unaware of this...
He also said that he would take good care of him, but he didn't know him at all...
The strong sense of frustration caused Li Xiang to scratch his hair irritably, put down his chopsticks, and lost the mood to eat.
Wu Zewen turned his head and asked, "Qin Ye is going to retire, has it been confirmed? Didn't he make an announcement yet?"
Liu Chuan said helplessly: "It should be decided, I infer from Xu Xinran's tone that Chang'an team is about to disband..."
Li Xiang suddenly widened his eyes in surprise: "Disband?!"
Wu Zewen couldn't believe it either: "...Although the Changan team didn't make the playoffs, it's still ninth, so there's no need to disband, right?"
As far as they know, only a team like the Qiankun team that Jiang Shaoqing was in was eliminated by the professional league will be disbanded. Changan team ranked ninth this season. In fact, among the 16 teams in the entire league, it is also It is considered to be in the middle level, how can it reach this step of disbanding
Li wanted to know how deep Qin Ye's feelings were for the Chang'an team. The Chang'an team was like a second home to Qin Ye!
Now that the family is about to be scattered, what reason does Qin Ye have to stay
Thinking of this, Li Xiang only felt cold in his heart. He wanted to fly to Qin Ye's side immediately, hug that person tightly, and tell him: Don't be sad, you still have us... But he knew that at this time Qin Ye doesn't need anyone's comfort at all, because Qin Ye has already made a decision...
That person was always proud and strong, so strong that Li Xiang felt distressed.
As Qin Ye's best friend in the professional circle, Liu Chuan also understands Qin Ye's personality. It seems that this retirement can't be changed. If Qin Ye really retires and wants him to come back, it will be difficult. make it harder...
Seeing Liu Chuan's heavy expression, Wu Zewen couldn't help but comforted softly: "Don't worry, think of a way. The Chang'an team is about to be disbanded, and the official side has not announced any news, maybe it can be recovered?"
Liu Chuan shook his head gently and said, "You don't know that the Chang'an team is different from other teams. The key lies in the Chang'an team's manager, Xia Mingde..."
Looking back at Wu Zewen's eyes full of concern, Liu Chuan took a deep breath and continued, "Xia Mingde invested in the Chang'an team, in fact, for Lin Liming, the first captain of the Chang'an team. Lin Liming wanted to create the Chang'an team at that time. Suffering from the lack of funds, Xia Mingde is his good buddy, and the family conditions are very good, so he gave a sum of money to help him, which is the kind of helping good buddies to tide over the difficulties and help them with justice..."
"In fact, the Xia family's business focuses on film and television investment. Manager Xia is not keen on the e-sports circle. He is not very good at playing the game of martial arts, and he does not care about the internal affairs of the team. Qin Ye came to take care of it. To put it bluntly, the Changan team is only a small part of his business that can be ignored... "
"He is not like Li Hui, Huaxia's manager. Li Hui himself likes e-sports very much. Out of this love, no matter how badly the Huaxia team's performance drops after I leave, Li Hui will still survive, but Xia Mingde is different. , he was too lazy to take care of the e-sports side, to put it in a bad way, he invested in the Changan team, just to help his friends, he didn't love, or even didn't understand the e-sports circle at all..."
"Have you thought about it? The conflicts within the Chang'an team have been going on for so long. If Xia Mingde really wants to manage this team well, as the team's manager, wouldn't it be easy for him to change the captain? But he doesn't care, why?"
"Precisely because... the Changan team is dispensable to him, and he doesn't care what the team becomes! His investment in the entertainment industry, any movie is hundreds of millions of funds, Changan team is this. Even a small businessman can't get into Manager Xia's eyes. He doesn't even know how many martial arts there are in this game, and he doesn't have much interest in the game. It's really embarrassing for him to stay in the e-sports circle for such a half-hearted person. he."
"The disbandment of the Chang'an team, in fact, some of our old captains can guess... Manager Xia obviously wants to take the opportunity to lose this burden. He is not good at running an e-sports team, and he doesn't know how to deal with the team's problems, let alone lead the team. He has the passion to play the game, so he decided to let it go, and wanted several players to find their own way."
Listening to Liu Chuan calmly speaking about the background of the Chang'an team, the hearts of the two people are really turbulent!
As newbies in the e-sports circle, they don't know the background of these teams at all. They only know to work hard to improve themselves and play well, but they never thought that if one day they become professional players, their team will be because of Disbanded for various reasons, what should I do
Jiang Shaoqing once experienced this kind of thing. The team was disbanded and his dream was broken. He could only leave the professional league with his salary sadly.
- This is the cruel reality.
E-sports is better to say that a group of young people are fighting on this land with the dream of becoming a professional player, but in fact, behind every e-sports club, there are various investors, and the ultimate goal of investors is to make profits. , Investing in the team is not for charity, but for making money, and no one is willing to do business at a loss.
Xia Mingde's choice cannot be said to be completely wrong... He is just too realistic.
He is a businessman. He doesn't love e-sports like Liu Chuan and Li Hui. He invested in Chang'an just to help his friends and make a little money. Since the team couldn't achieve the results he expected, he gave up this burden. excusable. Maybe many people will think that the Xia family is so rich, since he can spend hundreds of millions to invest in a movie, why can't he spend even a few million to support the Chang'an Club
But the richer people are, the more they care about money.
In Xia Mingde's view, Chang'an Club's investment and income are already disproportionate. What he does with this money will be more cost-effective than investing in Chang'an. As an experienced businessman, Chang'an Club has become a burden holding him back. It is the most rational decision to cut off the chicken ribs that are hard to swallow.
As for the departure and stay of the players and the feelings of the fans... As the boss, how could he be in the mood to consider these
The team background mentioned by Liu Chuan made the two Xiaobai feel a little uncomfortable.
Wu Zewen was silent for a long time before he looked up at Liu Chuan and asked earnestly, "That's why you want to create a club and control everything yourself, right?"
Liu Chuan nodded solemnly and said in a low voice, "Yes. Although I can't guarantee how good our team will get, what I can guarantee is that with me, Liu Chuan, no matter what the circumstances are, The Longyin team will not be disbanded!"
Liu Chuan's words were loud and clear, like the most powerful reassurance pill, which made Wu Zewen's uneasiness, anxiety, and hesitation all vanish.
Although he is a rookie who knows little about the e-sports circle, he believes in Liu Chuan. He believes that with Liu Chuan, the Longyin team will become the strongest tree, giving the players the most peace of mind and stability. Rely on, even if the wind and rain are shaken, it will never fall!
This is the biggest difference between Liu Chuan and Xia Mingde.
However, listening to Liu Chuan's assurance, Li Xiang felt as if his heart was being grabbed by a pair of invisible hands. He still remembered that when the Chang'an team lost consecutively, fans were worried that Qin Ye would leave. After leaving a message to ask, Qin Ye said publicly at the time, "Don't worry, I won't leave."
—In the most difficult moment for the Changan team, Qin Ye would not abandon Changan.
- Now that Chang'an is gone, what reason does he have to stay
For Qin Ye, the Chang'an team was like his flesh and blood. For five years, he was used to sharing weal and woe with the Chang'an team. After the Chang'an team was disbanded, what reason would he have to stay in the professional circle? struggle? He is not too young, and retiring is obviously the most appropriate decision he made after careful consideration...
Li Xiang stared blankly at the rice in front of him, his eyes were slightly red...
Did that person really leave like this
He hasn't fought alongside him yet...
During this period of time, he has been holding his breath and working hard. He wants to become an outstanding master as soon as possible, and one day in the future, he can be qualified to be by Qin Ye's side, be able to protect Qin Ye at a critical moment, and be able to Give Qin Ye a warm hug and a thoughtful word of encouragement when he walks off the stage...
Unfortunately, before these ideas could be realized, Qin Ye was about to leave.
Yesterday, when he followed the school team to beat his opponent and successfully qualified for the South China Division, Li Xiang also sent a text message to Qin Ye excitedly. All night last night, he was delighted with his progress, fantasizing that he would finally Can stand up in front of Qin Ye and say: Qin Ye, I also won the game, and I want to be a professional player in the future...
But now it seems that his growth is far from enough!
Facing Qin Ye's retirement, Li Xiang found himself powerless! Not to mention that he is fighting side by side with Qin Ye, he doesn't even know where Qin Ye is!
It turned out that he was still far from Qin Ye, and Li Xiang was suddenly very depressed by this realization.
Li Xiang looked back at Liu Chuan and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is there any way to keep Qin Ye? Liu Chuan, tell me, what else can we do? As long as we can keep him, let me do anything! "
Liu Chuan was silent for a moment before he said, "You know Qin Ye's temper, he has already decided to retire, and trying to persuade him to change his mind is as hard as heaven..."
Li Xiang lowered his head in annoyance. He knew that Qin Ye had always been decisive and straightforward. Now that he had made up his mind, asking him to go back on it was not in line with Qin Ye's personality at all.
But could they just watch Qin Ye retire
Liu Chuan thought for a while, and said, "It's useless to be anxious now, he is in Singapore, and there is probably a problem with his mobile phone and can't receive our calls. Let's talk about it in the winter vacation. He will definitely go home for the New Year during the winter vacation. He will go to Xi'an to find him. Talk to him."
