Excellent Era's boss, Tao Xuan, personally accepting the interview was giving him enough face. But after organizing the draft, Cao Guangcheng also experienced the cunning and shrewdness of a boss level character. In the interview, Tao Xuan fully expressed his and Excellent Era's understanding and tolerance of Ye Qiu, but it was precisely this point that led to his move of hiding a needle in cotton.
Excellent Era was so understanding and tolerant of Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu led a team to fight to the death with Excellent Era in the Challenger League. With this, the difference between the two sides was obvious. The only words used to describe Ye Qiu's actions, other than biting the hand that fed him, were ungrateful...
Very interesting!
When Cao Guangcheng organized the draft, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Then, how did Excellent Era respond?
Even though Excellent Era and Happy didn't sit face to face, don't forget that the reporters interviewing the two teams were all from Esports Home. They could completely guide the topic and design the content of the draft to be tit-for-tat with each other. Cao Guangcheng was in charge of Excellent Era's side, but for Happy's side, he hated that he couldn't personally go, so he could only remind Chang Xian repeatedly.
In the end, when Chang Xian came back from the interview and organized the draft, Cao Guangcheng couldn't help but feel angry.
In Chang Xian's draft, he wrote: Talking about the past, Captain Ye Xiu dismissed it with a laugh, then lit a cigarette and excitedly talked about the present with the author.
Truly, a great teacher produces a great student! This sentence was so similar to the one he wrote about Tao Xuan asking for a cigarette from the author. But under similar circumstances, Tao Xuan made his move of hiding a needle in cotton. Ye Xiu kicked him and said: Let's talk about the next topic.
Cao Guangcheng immediately slammed the table and scolded Chang Xian fiercely. It could be said that he vented all the pent-up anger towards Chang Xian. Actually, Cao Guangcheng knew that it wasn't that Chang Xian didn't do it, but that the other party didn't cooperate and avoided the topic. But if you could get the answer you wanted so easily, then the job of a reporter would be too easy. This draft made Cao Guangcheng confidently question Chang Xian's ability.
But after questioning, he still had to use of the draft. Even if he didn't grasp the selling point, at least this was an exclusive. Right now, the only person who could interview Happy was Chang Xian. Look at the two reporters sent by Esports Home to follow the Challenger League. Once they entered the finals, they looked especially awkward. Because the two teams didn't accept interviews casually, the two reporters could only hide like paparazzi with the local media. When they found the two teams, they would pounce on them and ask a few questions.
Compared to their piecemeal writing, Chang Xian's draft was much better. But when he handed the two teams' interviews to the chief editor, Cao Guangcheng was prepared to be criticized.
Sure enough, less than an hour after the draft was sent, the chief editor directly called Cao Guangcheng's phone and scolded him. The one who didn't like the draft was Chang Xian, but the chief editor's first sentence was: "Little Chang Xian is a newbie. Is this your first day as a reporter?"
Just like how Cao Guangcheng ignored Chang Xian's difficulty in getting information out of Ye Xiu, the chief editor completely ignored the fact that Cao Guangcheng couldn't control Chang Xian's interview with Happy and put the blame on him.
But in the end, it was the same as how Cao Guangcheng scolded Chang Xian. After scolding him, the draft still had to be used. Originally, they had hoped that the two teams would be at each other's throats, but in the end, one person talked about the weather and the other focused on the food.
In the end, Chang Xian's interview with Happy deepened people's understanding of Happy's team. And Tao Xuan's words once again ignited a wave of Excellent Era fans' hostility towards Ye Qiu.
Many of the Excellent Era fans, who had originally thought that the back of their hands was their own flesh and blood, were now firmly leaning towards the side of the team. For a moment, there was a heated discussion online. Hordes of Ye Xiu fans jumped up and down. They felt that Tao Xuan's statement was the best proof of Ye Xiu's cruel and unscrupulous nature.
For the next two days, Chen Guo didn't dare to go online to look at the discussion. She was afraid that she would die of anger. Fortunately, the atmosphere in the team was stable. Ye Xiu was as calm as ever. And this time, Chen Guo didn't get angry because of Ye Xiu's calmness. The finals were approaching. She was glad that Ye Xiu was this kind of person. Otherwise, if he was like her, who got angry every time something happened, he would have already lost his composure. How would he be able to play the match?
Yes, the match.
At this moment, Ye Xiu's attention was completely focused on the final match. These past few days, he would talk to Wei Chen, Sun Zheping, and everyone else in the team about many things.
This wasn't just a last-minute effort.
Starting from last summer, when Excellent Era's elimination was announced, the preparations to defeat Excellent Era had begun.
Glory was set up as the foundation of the game. It wasn't just the few dozen minutes on stage that could affect the final result of the game.
One minute on stage was ten years of hard work off stage. This saying was applicable to Glory as well. And this year, after putting in all of their hard work off stage, the few dozen minutes on stage were about to arrive.
In the end, everything still depended on these few dozen minutes. A year of hard work, no matter how thorough, no matter how perfect, if they didn't have these few dozen minutes to fully display and execute, everything would be for naught.
How would Happy react in the final match? Chen Guo wasn't sure either. She knew that Ye Xiu had been talking to everyone about this these past few days. Some she heard, some she didn't, but she never asked. She hoped that Ye Xiu could put all of his time and energy into preparing for the match. Explaining things to her wasn't important at all.
For a moment, Chen Guo seemed to be the most relaxed person in Happy's group. And even though she was always enthusiastic, she didn't seem to want to actively participate. Right now, she was trying her best not to disturb anyone as much as possible. Just doing this made her feel very fulfilled. She didn't feel left out at all, and she certainly didn't feel lonely. Seeing everyone working hard, she only felt a sense of security and warmth.
And at this moment, Chen Guo thought of another person, a person who was currently in the midst of the enemy ranks.
Su Mucheng.
How was she feeling right now? Was she like Happy's group, working hard for the match? Even though Chen Guo hated Excellent Era, if Su Mucheng did this, she wouldn't feel that it was inappropriate. This was the professionalism that a pro player should have. If it was a match, then they should do their best. Even though the outside world was paying attention to this match, with Tian Tian by Ye Xiu's side, Chen Guo could see everything clearly. For this match, Ye Xiu didn't mix in anything outside of the match.
Because he had been retired, so this was a battle for revenge? He didn't. Because of his unbreakable relationship with Excellent Era, so he had complicated emotions? He didn't either.
Yes, that was it. He wasn't good, he wasn't bad. He seemed cold and emotionless, but he treated Glory and the matches with such a loyal attitude. This was the number one God in Chen Guo's eyes. Just based on this, Chen Guo felt that her years of being a fan of his weren't in vain. This was a person who was truly worthy of respect, because he could do things that others couldn't. For example, even though Chen Guo understood this reasoning and approved of this attitude, she couldn't do it herself.
She couldn't face Excellent Era with a calm heart. When she thought of how Excellent Era had treated Ye Qiu, she wanted nothing more than for Excellent Era to be tormented by Happy a hundred times, and then kneel on the sidelines with tears streaming down her face to repent.
Time passed day by day, and the match drew closer and closer. While Chen Guo did her job of daydreaming, she also took over all other matters that might disturb others. Even when Chang Xian came to visit, he could only come into contact with Chen Guo. Seeing how serious Chen Guo was, Chang Xian couldn't disturb Happy at all.
Friday, the day of the match. Esports Home also had an issue on this day. Happy and Excellent Era's match in the Challenger League finally made it to the front page of the Esports Home. It overshadowed any other match in the Pro League the next day.
And on the front page, the two words "Ye Qiu" were placed bigger than "Happy". This was supposed to be a match between the two teams, but for the media, what they focused on was the gimmick of Ye Qiu versus Excellent Era. If Happy didn't have Ye Qiu, then no matter how good their team was, with the weight of the Challenger League, it probably wouldn't have made it to the front page.
And in this issue, the frontline reporters didn't get any first-hand information. Chang Xian didn't want to disturb them, but Excellent Era also started a closed training session, so Cao Guangcheng couldn't get close to them. But this way, it was easier for them to describe what they saw and thought from their own point of view. As a result, the atmosphere of a coming storm was set off by the two of them, and the atmosphere was exquisite. The two reporters wrote about the two teams that they had come into contact with in the past few days in the form of travel notes, and listed them on the front page of the Challenger League. The front page was a place where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, so of course, there wouldn't be such substantive content. Usually, it was just the headlines.
Early in the morning, the Friday issue of the Esports Home was sent to all the newsstands in the city. And at this time, Happy was arranged by the Alliance to board a bus to the stadium.
Even though the match was to be held at night, because of the change of venue, it was necessary to warm up before the match. After the Alliance asked for Happy's opinion, they contacted experts early in the morning to send Team Happy to the stadium for pre-match training. Excellent Era also received the same opinion, so they sent their experts to the stadium where the final match would be held: Liulisong Sports Complex.
In the end, the two teams unexpectedly met at the special entrance.
