Manager Zhou couldn't help being dumbfounded.
After a long while, he suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart, it turned out that Lu Zhe really liked Shen Qiao.
Since Lu Zhe joined the team, Manager Zhou has observed this child. On the surface, he looks gentle and easy to talk, but what's surprising is that he is a very stubborn type, and he can't pull the nine-headed cow back.
Stubborn to the point of being paranoid.
At the same time, he has a kind of transparency and calmness that is rare among his peers. To put it bluntly, he lives a very realistic life. Many times the club makes some plans for profit, and Manager Zhou himself feels embarrassed to talk to them. Mention, only Lu Zhe can understand very well, and there is no complaint at all.
This is also the reason that Manager Zhou will talk to his ward no matter what. Emotionally, Lu Zhe is more like his colleague than a child of the team who needs him to take care of him. .
Manager Zhou used to guess if he didn't live well at home when he was a child, so he was more sensible than his peers.
However, he specially observed Lu Zhe's daily expenses, and he found that it was not the case. Those children who received sky-high wages overnight often couldn't control themselves to become extravagant, but Lu Zhe did not.
From the first day in DG until now, Manager Zhou swears that he has never seen Lu Zhe consume anything impulsive.
Not to mention the two figure madmen, Lao Wo and Er Hua, Qian Bao also likes to buy a bunch of big-name clothes that are out of season after a few days. When I have free time, I squat in the live broadcast room of the female anchor, and the reward is not small.
But Lu Zhe is not a stingy and thrifty type.
There will also be trendy brands on him, but they are all just right. When the season changes, I think of adding two sets of that kind. The clothes are quite good, and after a long time, I can know that his family background is not bad.
Manager Zhou has always thought that Lu Zhe is a type with a good financial sense. If a player from the DG team retires in the future, whoever should not worry about him the most must be Lu Zhe.
As a result, today, Lu Zhe broke his impression.
For personal reasons, I took out most of my net worth to pay the sponsor's liquidated damages...
And because of another person.
Manager Zhou really didn't know what to say except that "love makes people blind".
Lu Zhe looked back and found that Manager Zhou's expression was full of sighs, his eyes were loving, as if he was looking at a silly dog who fell into the river of love again, and he couldn't help laughing.
Lu Zhe used his hair to know what Manager Zhou had misunderstood. Maybe at this moment, his rusty mind had already passed a hundred thousand words of love stories with ups and downs.
But he didn't explain out loud, just said: "If there are no other problems, then I'll take it as your promise?"
Manager Zhou hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand to him in annoyance, and made a gesture of driving away: "Whatever you want, in short, take it easy, don't go bankrupt before anyone catches up with you—the target is all People who can't afford it, lost our DG."
Lu Zhe smiled, knowing that he was well-intentioned, and responded with a good temper: "Yes."
…
Walking through the long corridor, I sneaked in through the window arrogantly in the afternoon, the gorgeous sunlight dancing in the corridor has disappeared, and now the smooth tiled floor is only covered with a shallow layer of light. Blurred lights, illuminated street lights outside the base.
Lu Zhe walked through the corridor alone, remembering how Shen Qiao suddenly followed him in the afternoon and took a sip of pheromone.
The faint smell of cedar diffused quietly, drifting through the corners of the wall and between the bricks, as if looking for the target prey that once stood nearby, trying to catch up and entangle people.
Trapped in his own net, never let the other party escape.
I don't know how long it took, Lu Zhe just restrained his breath again, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and walked to the window.
"It should be morning over there? Good afternoon, please help me to see how much liquidity I have in my account."
After waiting for a while, Lu Zhe heard the numbers and pondered for a few seconds: "How has the fund and stock profitability been in the past six months?"
"I need a report of all my current assets... yes, hard."
He whispered a few words in English, but he didn't attract anyone's attention. Even though the door of the training room was half-closed, no one came out, and he knew he was still addicted to the game.
Lu Zhe made four or five calls in succession and went out, only to breathe a sigh of relief. When he returned to the training room, his state had already adjusted, and no one noticed the change in his mood just now.
He pulled out the chair, and Shen Qiao, who was sitting next to him, saw the movement and turned his head to look at him.
For a moment, Lu Zhe thought he was going to ask himself what he was doing just now, and involuntarily began to make up reasons.
As a result, he heard the other party clear his throat, and seemed to ask uncomfortably, "Is there any more sugar?"
Lu Zhe blinked, almost thinking he heard it wrong, but he realized that he still asked, "Well? What did you say? I can't hear you clearly."
Shen Qiao looked at him blankly, thinking that it was him who was wearing headphones to affect his hearing, right
The corners of Lu Zhe's lips gradually deepened into a smile, he raised his hand to push away the unruly broken hair in front of Shen Qiao's forehead, and helped him lock the headset again, and then he replied casually:
"If you like it so much, I'll go to Coach Fang's office tomorrow to steal another box for you."
Shen Qiao: "?"
There was a bit of speechlessness in his eyes, and he replied rationally: "Yes, but it is not necessary."
Lu Zhe couldn't help laughing, touched his head comfortingly, and said in a coaxing tone: "Don't be afraid, as long as you are with your brother, your brother will steal candy for you every day from now on."
Shen Qiao rolled her eyes at him, turned back to click on qualifying, and stopped paying attention to the fool Lu Zhe.
Lu Zhe stared at his profile quietly for a while, then moved his hand, turned on the computer, put on his headphones, and dropped an invitation to Shen Qiao.
After a few seconds, the two entered the double-row page.
…
For the next few days, Lu Zhe trained with everyone until midnight every day, and woke up earlier than everyone in the morning, not knowing what he was busy with.
The reason why Shen Qiao knew about this was because she felt that she was too housebound recently, so she set an alarm clock to go to the swimming pool to exercise in the morning. As a result, when she went to the cafeteria downstairs, she heard a few children from the second team chatting.
"I'm so sleepy, why do I feel like I can't do it after only cultivating for three nights?"
"Probably too tired from training?"
"But the first team is even more tired. I heard from my aunt that the lights in their training room have been on until three or four in the morning. What's scary is that my aunt also said that the army team came to have breakfast at six o'clock recently. Really got it."
Shen Qiao passed by with a dinner plate, and stopped subconsciously when she heard the second half of the content.
A few children noticed the movement and looked at each other. Team 2 captain Zheng Zhizhuo greeted him with bright eyes: "Wolf, Brother Wolf!"
Brother wolf
Shen Qiao was still a little stunned by this strange name, and the rest of the children followed the formation:
"Morning wolf!"
"Brother Wolf, come on in the summer game! I've seen your game! Your sword demon is so strong!"
Zheng Zhizhuo is also a top laner himself, and he personally appreciates Shen Qiao's style of play. Hearing his teammates praise Shen Qiao, he wants to express his love for him, and thinks that he and Lu Zhe don't seem to have a good relationship, so he struggled for a long time. , can only go along with the words of teammates.
"Come on, Brother Wolf, in the summer game."
Shen Qiao nodded.
But he didn't leave in a hurry, thinking about what they said about Lu Zhe getting up early recently.
Did something happen to that guy
Zheng Zhizhuo saw that he hadn't left for a long time, looked at his friends, and took the initiative to invite: "En... If you don't mind, sit at a table with us."
Shen Qiao came back to her senses, it was not appropriate to want to refuse, so she could only sit down to eat.
…
At the same moment, the person concerned by Shen Qiao's thoughts just came out of the DG headquarters, but he didn't rush back to the base. Instead, he took a taxi to the central business district.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lu Zhe received a call.
He looked away from the dazzling logo on the sign, picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the incoming call.
Secretary Zhou.
The smile that always hung on Lu Zhe's face disappeared. He stared at the phone screen for a while, and answered the phone. Before he could speak, a middle-aged man's steady voice came from there:
"Azhe."
Hearing this voice, Lu Zhe swallowed the content that was about to be exported. He took a deep breath and said again: "Father."
"I heard from the assistant that in order to rescind our company's sponsorship contract, you sold your assets to become a major shareholder of DG, and you also paid liquidated damages in your own name?"
Lu Zhe stood on the side of the road and didn't move, obviously too beautiful appearance attracted many passers-by, but when they saw his expression, no one dared to summon the courage to approach him.
He looked up at the building in the distance, his tone was extraordinarily flat: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Lu Chengzhen laughed on the other end of the phone, as if he was dealing with his rebellious son tolerantly and patiently, and even gave guidance: "I thought that after all these years of life, you should have become more mature, such a childish behavior, I couldn't believe it when the assistant said—"
Lu Zhe didn't have the patience to listen to his fake kindness, and interrupted: "Our dictionary's understanding of the word 'mature' is probably biased."
"If your maturity means being humiliated, I'm sorry, I can't."
"Shame?" Lu Chengzhen repeated the word he said, as if he had heard a joke, and laughed heartily. After a few times, he answered:
"I just remind you, don't go too far, I know what you want to do, but you have to remember that you are my son after all, the blood of the Lu family, if I really want to do something, do you think you still How long can you be naive?"
"It's okay to play, but don't go too far, Azhe."
The more Lu Zhe listened, the colder the expression on his face became. His eyes were like cold pools covered with thin ice in winter, exuding an overwhelming coolness.
"Keep this arrogant look, father, maybe I can really surprise you." After that, he hung up the phone and stood on the side of the road for a while.
The sun near noon in Huacheng in May is already vicious enough, the domineering heat sprinkles on the skin, and the flesh is roasted slowly and persistently, but Lu Zhe can still feel the chill in his heart.
…
He remembered something bad again—
From the time he could remember, Lu Zhe knew that he was an illegitimate child. Every time he heard Su Qiongpei talk about that man with a look of nostalgia and yearning, he felt disgusted in his heart.
Although he still doesn't understand some life principles, Lu Zhe has vaguely made a judgment on the biological father:
That must be a bad man.
Because the students in the class always like to write "my father" in their compositions, Lu Zhe already knew what a positive father looks like when he listened to the teacher reading those excellent compositions.
He is like a mountain. He silently bears the burden of the family. He may not be good at words, but he always looks at the children with tolerant eyes, takes them out to play during the holidays, plays games with the children in his spare time, or reprimands them harshly. They go to do homework.
But whether it was severe or tolerant fatherly love, Lu Zhe had never felt it.
At first, he complained along with Su Qiongpei. Later, when he saw someone else's father sitting there at the parent-teacher meeting, he couldn't help but think enviously in his heart:
If Dad could show up now and apologize to Mom for leaving us, I could forgive him too.
But he thought about it for many years, but the father who should have appeared never came.
When he was in junior high school, he no longer had any illusions about that man, and even when he heard Su Qiongpela and Lu Qianshuang talking about the man, he would find an excuse to take his sister away.
"Brother, mom said dad is a very good person, have you met him?"
"No, but don't believe what she says."
"Did my brother say that my mother is lying to me?"
"No... I mean, a good dad wouldn't stop coming to see us."
"Oh."
The little Lu Qianshuang nodded in understanding, blinked his big eyes, and pointed to the booth next to him: "Brother, I want to eat a mung bean popsicle."
Lu Zhe: "..."
He touched his pocket and found that he didn't bring any change out today. He took the little girl and continued to walk: "The mung bean popsicle is not delicious. I'll buy you something else next time."
…
Gradually, when Lu Qianshuang grew up and became sensible, no one in the family would listen to Su Qiongpei complimenting how good the people she once liked were, and even took her description of her biological father's wealth as an exaggeration.
Lu Zhe thought, maybe my father died a long time ago.
As a result, everything changed in the summer vacation of his third year of junior high school—
During that time, Su Qiongpei always went out, even staying at night, and when he came back, he would have more brand-new accessories, or beautiful and exquisite watches, or shiny bags.
She excitedly said to the two children:
"He decided to recognize you back!"
"You will be able to live with your father soon, are you happy?"
Lu Qianshuang was stunned, and looked at him subconsciously.
Lu Zhe's preparation for high school textbooks stopped, and he looked at Su Qiongpei, who couldn't hide the joy on his face. Although he was reluctant, he was really happy for her when he saw his mother's smile at that time.
At least... Her expectations were not in vain.
until-
He slowly learned about his biological father.
Knowing that he already has a wife named Shen Jinyi, and also knowing that Shen Jinyi is a Beta who has difficulty in childbirth, their only son was adopted from the orphanage, but now this person is looking for Su Qiongpei again, just because she gave birth to his bloodline Heir.
Lu Zhe found that his evaluation of the father was correct.
He really is a bad man.
"Mom, I heard that he has a new family." Knowing these things, Lu Zhe went to Su Qiongpei again, trying to euphemistically get her to give up the idea. He didn't want his mother to be a destroyer of other people's families.
However, Su Qiongpei, who has always been kind to him, is like a lion with fried fur, holding his shoulders with both hands and saying:
"Son, you don't understand, he won't be with that woman for a long time, not to mention his mother is the first person he falls in love with."
"Don't be afraid, Mom will definitely find a way to let you and Qianshuang walk into the Lu family—"
Lu Zhe pursed his lips, a little hesitation appeared on his face: "But I don't want to..."
"Xiao Zhe!" Su Qiongpei's strength in holding his shoulder increased. The newly made nails were a little sharp, which caused some pain in his shoulder. The emotion in her eyes made him unable to understand, "You are still young, you don't understand!"
"Listen to mom, mom will let you grow up in the best environment, give you the best resources, and let you never look at others again..."
Su Qiongpei rambled on and emphasized to him that Lu Zhe couldn't remember what to say later, but he only remembered that he had a deep nail print on his shoulder at that time, which made him unable to figure out how his mother was an Omega so big. strength.
Later, he received an acceptance letter from Yuncheng No.1 Middle School.
There, he met the son that Shen Jinyi and Lu Chengzhen adopted, called Shen Qiao.
Lu Zhe knew him long before he knew him on the court. The first time he saw him was when the school's inter-class broadcast exercise was disbanding. Even if there were many people standing around Shen Qiao and holding him in the middle, Lu Zhe was still the best. See him first.
He smiled bright and sunny, brighter than the summer sun.
Lu Zhe, who had just entered the corridor, was stunned for a moment, feeling a little ashamed in his heart.
He thought, was it because of Lu Chengzhen's father, that Shen Qiao grew up so vigorously
With such curiosity, he took the initiative to approach each other at the sports meeting in the first semester of high school, established a friendship through a ball game, and talked about it for a long time, and found that Shen Qiao almost never mentioned his family.
At first Lu Zhe thought that the other party just didn't like to talk about family matters, until one time—
There was an Omega in the school who suddenly went into heat in the classroom because he forgot to take the inhibitor, and these Alphas were all taken to the open space of the playground.
He inadvertently saw Shen Qiao leaning against the flag-raising platform in the corner, with red rashes all over her neck and hands, sitting there sullenly, covering her face with clothes in a fret.
Lu Zhe walked over and asked in a low voice, "Are you uncomfortable?"
Shen Qiao pulled down his clothes, glanced at him, and found that no one was coming, so he said weakly: "No, it's just that I'm a little allergic to Omega's pheromones recently."
Lu Zhe: "?"
He was a little surprised: "Aren't you A? Why are you allergic to O's pheromone?"
At that time, Lu Zhe wanted to ask, just like you, what will you do when you find someone in the future
But inexplicably, he swallowed the words and only asked, "Do you want to go to the school doctor's office?"
Shen Qiao smiled lazily and said to him, "It's useless, my school hospital can't give me medicine, tsk... I forgot to take my medicine out today."
Seeing more and more red on his body, Lu Zhe was really afraid that he would be in severe allergic shock, so he simply stretched out his hand to Shen Qiao: "Get up and take you to the hospital in the city."
Shen Qiao didn't move.
Lu Zhe raised his eyebrows at him: "Why, do you want me to carry you, Princess Qiao?"
"Go away." Shen Qiao scolded him, and finally moved humbly.
After walking two steps, Shen Qiao frowned and looked at him: "What are you doing? Want to fight?"
Lu Zhe: "?"
"I don't want to fight, what are you doing so arrogantly with your pheromone? I advise you not to mess with me, I'm in a bad mood." Shen Qiao retracted her gaze, threw her school uniform jacket over her shoulders, and walked forward with a world-weary expression.
Lu Zhe restrained his cedar scent. Originally, he thought that the Omega pheromone floating from the playground was so strong, and he was afraid that Shen Qiao would faint before halfway, so he used his pheromone to help him block it.
He admits that the method is a bit stupid, but since the poor guy doesn't appreciate it—
Then he deserves allergies.
…
When he got to the hospital, Lu Zhe was waiting outside against the wall. He was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, but the door of the consultation room suddenly opened.
"Professional institutions are more reliable. You still need to pay more attention to your acquired gland problems..."
Lu Zhe: "..."
Facing Shen Qiao's look at the dead man, Lu Zhe slowly and slowly revealed a friendly and harmless smile.
He followed Shen Qiao and touched his nose subconsciously: "I won't tell what happened today."
Shen Qiao rolled her eyes: "Whatever."
After a pause, Shen Qiao didn't know what to think, and then dragged the tone and said slowly: "If you want to say it, I don't mind giving you some more exciting news, such as my acquired gland problem, which comes from My wicked family."
Shen Qiao approached him, suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know what it feels like to be injected with Omega pheromones for a person who is about to differentiate into Alpha?"
The smile on Lu Zhe's face suddenly froze.
Shen Qiao touched his chin and looked at the rare appearance that he didn't wear a fake smile mask, and found that it didn't feel bad. After admiring it for a while, he turned around to get the medicine, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Zhe slowed down, chased after three or two steps, and said in a low voice, "...Is this illegal?"
Shen Qiao let out a "ha", as if hearing some big joke, and said to him mysteriously for a while, "Yeah, so when you know what my family does in the future, hurry up and shake me out today. If the material is released, maybe the report will be successful."
Lu Zhe couldn't smile anymore.
Seeing the back of Shen Qiao returning to the queue as if nothing had happened, Lu Zhe suddenly understood at that moment—
A family with a father is not necessarily a good one.
Maybe it was a more terrible hell.
Everything that happened later confirmed this.
…
Noticing that more eyes were falling on him, Lu Zhe turned his attention back to his eyes. Under the eager gaze of the two girls who were eager to take a photo, he looked up at the logo, and then walked in the direction indicated.
Forty minutes later.
DG base.
Lu Zhe walked into the training room with a box and found that the seat next to him was rarely empty. He glanced at the time and asked the yawning old snail across from him:
"Jojo hasn't come yet?"
Old Woo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, provoked by yawning: "I went to the cafeteria to see that he seemed to be entangled by the little fans of the second team. It is estimated that he will wait-"
"Well, people are back."
Lao Wo raised his head and motioned Lu Zhe to look back.
Shen Qiao paced over and saw Lu Zhe's figure, her mood was inexplicably better, and when she got closer, she saw the Godiva gift box on her table.
He raised his brows slightly, and just as he was about to take it apart and taste it, he stretched out his hands—
Hearing that he ran to the second team just now, Lu Zhe, who was happy and couldn't remember himself at all, suddenly picked up the box and put it back on his own table.
"I put it in the wrong place just now." Lu Zhe said lightly.
Shen Qiao: "..."
He didn't know why Lu Zhe suddenly became nervous and teased him like this. He stretched out his hand halfway, so he pretended to grab the earphone very naturally, and replied indifferently, "Oh."
When the game was opened, Shen Qiao glanced at the time and was about to mix up the duration of the live broadcast. As soon as the live broadcast room opened, the person next to him tapped his desk lightly.
Shen Qiao ignored it, debugged the live broadcast equipment on his own, turned on the microphone without saying a word, and just clicked to start the game.
A large number of spectators quickly poured into the barrage.
Just when Shen Qiao entered the B&P session, the audience faced the game screen and heard the first sound in the live broadcast room. It was a little vague, with a smile, and it was very familiar.
"I'm not angry, are you still angry?"
"Okay, can't you please eat? Open your mouth, ah-"
Barrage:"… "
Barrage:""
We haven't been here for a few days. What happened to your DG? Wolf cub, turn on the camera for me!
