So Shen Yanming saw that the chat box with He Changkong kept showing "The other party is typing...", and he didn't see the input completed after a long time. During this time, Shen Yanming switched out to read something else, and when he came back, he thought he would see He Changkong's long speech, but he only saw a few short sentences.
[kong_]：Nothing, just saying you are nice.
[kong_]: And your coaches have noticed your recent performance.
Shen Yanming pursed his lips.
I'd be foolish to believe you!
He Changkong was indeed not telling the truth. At that time, the coach and the top management encouraged He Changkong to bring Shen Yanming in, just because they didn't want to waste a good talent. Even if they signed him a formal player contract, they definitely didn't want him to start from the beginning. They just valued He Changkong and gave him face, and they also thought Shen Yanming really had potential.
Even He Changkong himself had told Shen Yanming at first that he would definitely go to the second team first, or start as a substitute.
Later, when the Lan incident happened, He Changkong decided to negotiate with the coaching team.
However, even if He Changkong knew that Shen Yanming was good enough, that he could carry and turn the tide, that he could lead a bunch of teammates of average level to qualify, and that he had won the MVP of the assassin position... he couldn't produce any evidence. The Shen Yanming in this timeline really had no achievements.
Words are not enough. The club is not doing charity. The club needs results. TMM is not the kind of team that treats a core player like a Buddha. It is true that players like He Changkong are rare, but other players who can come to TMM are not bad. They don't need to take the risk of letting a real rookie play in an important game just because a stronger player strongly recommends him.
Moreover, TMM was at its peak, and no one could have expected that if there was no replacement of blood, this team would soon decline.
It's completely useless for He Changkong to just say it.
…So He Changkong signed a contract to sell himself to the club.
This is not the indenture that we usually joke about, but a real indenture. Unless he retires, He Changkong will never leave TMM again.
Giving Shen Yanming a chance to start, in exchange for He Changkong signing a written contract to sell himself.
The coaches and senior executives who were communicating with He Changkong at the time were all stunned.
Anyone with eyes can see that He Changkong is doing a losing business.
From the perspective of the team, the top management should have agreed to it immediately. In the past, they were always worried that He Changkong would be poached by other teams. There were too many players who jumped ship after achieving good results. If this contract was really signed, He Changkong would be locked in TMM. Who would want him
This is a rare talent. He was a dazzling rookie king from the beginning. He can play well in any position. In addition to winning two world championships with the team, he also achieved fruitful results in other competitions. He is also a universal puzzle that can cooperate with any teammate and is the key to inspire the strength of teammates.
But as a friend, after hearing what He Changkong said, Afeng still advised him to calm down first.
He Changkong was very firm in the face of Afeng's persuasion: "I am not impulsive, I have thought it through clearly, I believe in him, he can do it."
Finally, the contract was signed, and the top management decided to let Shen Yanming start, but they also agreed that if Shen Yanming failed to play well, they could replace him at any time.
He Changkong naturally would not tell Shen Yanming about this kind of thing.
Although it didn't really make much difference to him whether he signed the contract or not, in his previous life, even if TMM ended up in such a mess, he still stayed in TMM. He didn't want to go anywhere else. He was a little stubborn, and perhaps a little naive, and wanted to stick to it from beginning to end. He felt that TMM was where his dream began, and the team had never treated him unfairly, so why should he leave
He knew in his heart that he would not leave, but the higher-ups did not know, so his indenture had great value to them.
Eventually he was able to talk about it.
In fact, he didn't feel that he had suffered much, nor did he feel that he had lost anything.
Shen Yanming should also know that he will not leave, but this kind of contract will always add pressure to people when they hear about it.
He Changkong considered it over and over again, and finally decided not to say anything.
It's not a big deal.
He even started to change the subject.
[kong_]: How did you change your nickname
Shen Yanming replied quite quickly.
[Maverick Goose]: You didn't leave me a note? I found out that I changed my nickname.
The note was a note... He Changkong's note for Shen Yanming was "little friend". However, he would sometimes click on Shen Yanming's information page and then click on the circle of friends to take a look.
In fact, he had already noticed that Shen Yanming had changed his name, but he had never had the opportunity to ask... If he asked without any reason, it might give people the feeling that he was secretly spying on him, which might make Shen Yanming uncomfortable.
I just brought it up now to change the subject.
[kong_]: Just saw it.
[The Maverick Goose]: If you want to change, just change it!
Shen Yanming turned over in his bed.
He also has a copy of "The Silent Majority" on his bedside table.
A while ago, he went to He Changkong's room and found that he was reading this book. One day before going to bed, he also ordered a copy. In fact, he really doesn't like reading books on weekdays. I don't know why he patiently read this book... Maybe he wants to know more about his brother Kong's spiritual life. Although the two have a closer relationship now, Shen Yanming sometimes still feels that He Changkong is a person who is difficult to figure out.
What He Changkong usually thinks seems to be very different from what he thinks...
Fortunately, this book is made up of many essays, so I can finish it quickly by reading it bit by bit.
The new name also comes from an article included in the book titled "A Maverick Pig".
He Changkong was a little happy when he found out that he had changed his name, but when asked why he changed his name, he was embarrassed to answer.
Are you going to watch it because you want to understand him
That's too weird.
After all, he just read this book on a whim. If he were asked to read all the books on He Changkong's bookshelf, his head would probably explode.
He suddenly thought again. Normally he always looked unlearned. If he suddenly changed his name to something funny, would He Changkong think he was a pretentious guy who showed off like crazy after reading a book
Thinking of this, he clicked on the name change interface again and changed back to his original name.
Unexpectedly, He Changkong discovered it again so quickly.
[kong_]: Changed it back again
[Shenbird]: Alas, because I am just an ordinary goose.
[kong_]: Phew.
Shen Yanming carefully confirmed that he was not mistaken. It was the first time he saw He Changkong send a word like "Puff" during a chat. He was so curious that he even took a screenshot.
[kong_]: Each of us is ordinary and unique, and so are you.
[Shenbird]: Late night literature and art
[kong_]: Go to bed early, good night.
[Shenbird]: Good night, Gege~
Shen Yanming turned off his phone and closed his eyes. He had been living a very regular life since he changed his schedule, and he would definitely feel sleepy at this time. He might have been a little irritated just now because of the bad words he read online, but after talking to He Changkong, he gradually calmed down.
He fell asleep quickly.
The next day he woke up earlier than the alarm clock rang, and as usual he played with his phone for a while.
As soon as I refreshed the Weibo homepage, I found out that a speechless incident had occurred.
Ever since Sunday joined the team, Shen Yanming and he have been following each other on Weibo.
That’s right, the account they followed each other on was Liu Ritian, the one who always criticized everyone.
However, this account has not been very active recently. I have to run between school and base on Sundays and I am so busy that I don’t have time to operate on Weibo.
I didn’t expect that when I refreshed my screen today, I would see Liu Ritian’s explosive remarks all over the screen.
Liu Ritian forwarded the messages of several people who jumped the highest under the official Weibo accounts.
Liu Riri Riritian: I don't know if the coach of tmm got kicked in the head by a donkey, but I think your hand must have been broken by a donkey. Look at your record on Weibo. You have the nerve to post your three consecutive wins in the second stage. You still dare to make comments like this? If I beat you like this, I will be so ashamed that I will buy a coffin as my final resting place. How can I be so embarrassed to come out and talk nonsense? But it's not easy for you either. You insist on using one finger to type on the keyboard even though your hand is broken. It must be very hard for you. Take care of yourself. The latest scientific research proves that hand disability can be transmitted to the brain. Be careful not to become a brain disability.
Liu Riri Riritian: And you, you squeezed out the position of Nightmare's veteran. I am also Ruisibai. Are you really his fan? If you are his fan, you should know what position he played in. Oh, I looked at your Weibo, you are a cloud player, then it's okay, take your "brother fuck me" and get out of here, Nightmare doesn't like idiots like you.
Liu Riri Riritian: There is also a guy who is always talking about an e-sports boy band. Is your urn the one you used to pickle sauerkraut? Not bad, it is quite environmentally friendly and recyclable. I praise you. I can smell the sour smell through the screen. You are ugly and have clumsy hands. Why are you being so sarcastic? Others are just handsome and strong. If you have the ability, go for plastic surgery. Forget it. Plastic surgery can't save you. Even if you can barely make yourself look like a human being, modern medicine can't help you change your hands, let alone your brain.
Liu Riri Riritian: You think you are an expert after watching a few games. I see you are quite familiar with the positions of the 26 letters on the keyboard. Keyboard experts, why don't you go to a factory to produce keyboards? After all, the other team is not more professional than you? The team can't think of what you want? There must be a reason for the arrangement of people? You are the only one who understands. If you are so capable, why don't you start a club and raise a championship team? Haha, don't bring a few friends and you can't even win the game in the Internet cafe with a reward of one month's Internet fee.
…
The more Shen Yanming listened to Sunday’s speech, the more confused he became. Even though he was speaking for him and it felt good to scold him, but, but... it was too radical!
And is this really something Sunday could say
Shen Yanming and Sunday have become more and more familiar with each other recently. Faced with this little mimosa spirit who can't even speak clearly every day, he almost forgot about his image as a troll on the Internet.
Shen Yanming turned off the screen and put his phone in his pocket. Without time to tidy himself up, he quickly got out of bed and ran to Sunday's room downstairs in his slippers.
After knocking on Sunday's door several times as if to collect debts, Shen Yanming finally saw Sunday coming towards him, rubbing his squinty eyes.
Sunday was still asleep, and had no idea why Shen Yanming had come to see him so early. He looked very innocent: "What's wrong? Are you messing around?"
