"My income? I'm not too sure about that. "Tang Rou didn't seem to be at a loss. She just replied calmly.
The reporters were stunned. This answer was out of their expectations. Even though they asked this question, it was just to pave the way for them to start talking. With the income of a pro player, any random player in an Internet cafe would be able to chat with you for a long time. In the end, Tang Rou actually replied that she wasn't too sure. This answer didn't seem to be in the right direction!
There were also a few astute reporters who, after hearing Tang Rou's answer, stared meaningfully at Chen Guo. They clearly thought that this was Happy's plot to make the pro players live in a very foolish and naive environment. That way, it would be easier to control them. But unfortunately, when they carefully observed Chen Guo, they didn't see any nervousness or uneasiness in her response to Tang Rou's answer. Instead, she smiled happily and nothing else happened.
What was going on?
This time, the reporters were even more at a loss. Let alone pro players, no matter what industry they were in, how could they not know about their income? Was this pretty girl purposely trying to tease them?
The reporters looked at each other suspiciously until the press officer asked again, "Are there any new questions?"
Today's press conference was full of jams, and the press officer was getting impatient.
"Can you reveal a little bit about the current treatment of Team Happy's players?" Some reporters persevered, but in the end, they didn't focus on Tang Rou. Instead, they threw the question back to Chen Guo.
The reporters' judgment was actually quite accurate. This question really did stab Happy in the heart. Chen Guo replied unnaturally, "Up until the Challenger League, we were all gathered together because of our hobby. Now that we're going to become a pro team, we'll need to formally discuss the details of the contract. This hasn't started yet, so there's nothing to reveal for now."
When the reporters heard this, they were stunned.
If you were to say that this was a group of three to five players gathered to join in on the fun, then this situation was inevitable. But Happy was the champion of Excellent Era's Challenger League, and the team had God Ye Xiu. Judging from Chen Guo's words, they didn't seem to receive any special treatment, and it was all based on love?
"So you're saying that Team Happy's players haven't earned anything yet?" Someone finally asked cautiously.
Chen Guo was very embarrassed, but she was not a secretive person, and she would not lie on such an occasion. She could only nod and say, "Yes."
Immediately, there was an uproar. Someone immediately asked, "Is Guru Ye Xiu one of them too?"
"Uh … yes." Chen Guo hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to talk about the salary of an internet cafe manager …
There was no need to talk about the uproar that followed. Happy's situation was really too shocking. Putting aside the fact that they had no income for now, from what Chen Guo had said, they still hadn't come up with a formal contract. This needed to be brought up properly.
It should be known that they already had the qualifications to participate in next season's Pro League. Everyone was going to become a real pro player. If they didn't hurry up and come up with a contract to keep them, wouldn't they be waiting for the team to become a supermarket the moment they joined the Alliance? With the performance of Team Happy's players in the Challenger League, the reporters believed that they would attract the attention of many pro teams. Back when the Challenger League was still going on, hadn't there already been a lot of gossip?
Speaking of which, at that time, there were already teams that were interested in Happy's players. But now, it seemed that Happy's lineup was complete, and no one was moved by the teams at that time. But now, from what Happy's boss said, Happy hadn't used any measures to keep them, and these Happy players had formed a team on their own?
This really didn't make sense …
The other teams definitely didn't expect Team Happy to be so illogical, so they didn't make any big moves to poach them, right? Once this news was released, Happy's team … wouldn't disband instantly, right?
At this time, the reporters were actually worried about Happy's situation. But they also knew that this matter would definitely be exposed. With so many reporters, it was impossible to guarantee that all of them would be sympathetic. They sympathized with Happy for using such a childish and illogical method to cover it up. This news was probably already being sorted out by someone, right?
In the end, Happy's experience with the media was quite different! Such an important matter was actually revealed at a press conference. The reporters sighed, and they gradually started to suspect that they were taking advantage of the situation.
There was a bit of chaos at the scene. The Alliance's press officer looked at the time and saw that it was about time. After discussing with Happy's people, he decided to just announce the last question.
They had already gotten a lot of information from today's press conference, so they couldn't pursue the last question. The experienced reporters wouldn't ask anything too complicated and tricky at this time. There was no need to leave on bad terms at the last moment.
"You've been away from the Alliance for so long. At this moment, do you have anything you want to say?" The last question was finally thrown to Ye Xiu.
"Haha." Ye Xiu chuckled, then said, "I'm back."
I'm back!
It was a simple sentence, but it revealed an incomparably strong conviction. Even though today's press conference had gotten a lot of juicy news, and even though everyone had already eagerly started to organize these juicy news, in the end, every media outlet chose to use this last sentence as their headline.
Ye Xiu: I'm back.
Apart from that, every media outlet fully displayed their ability to compile and organize information, and reported on other content.
A year of preparation to become Happy's champion. Opportunities only go to those who are more prepared!
Excellent Era's former captain fired a cannon at the press conference, angrily reprimanding Excellent Era's boss, Tao Xuan, for betraying Excellent Era!
Happy for the sake of love!
… …
These news articles all had substantial content, and they were all written in the most frightening way possible. And this was just to reveal the information obtained at the press conference. The real value of public opinion was to use the information to create a direction.
Those reporters who liked Excellent Era used Ye Xiu's words to display their writing skills. They beautifully separated Excellent Era and Tao Xuan. All the negative news that Excellent Era had received was all directed at Tao Xuan. The other reporters who didn't feel anything, when faced with such clear facts, would not point in the wrong direction.
The dirty ones weren't the teams, but certain people!
When the content was described like this, everyone saw that it made sense! As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. Those disgusting things that Excellent Era did were all done under the boss's instructions. It was his control that caused the team to fall to such a state.
And so, in an instant, the direction of the wind changed.
Many of Excellent Era's fans had already left. They were embarrassed by the various things that had been exposed in Excellent Era, and were disheartened by Excellent Era. But after the latest news, their sadness and disappointment all turned into anger. They gathered together once again. They wanted to protect Team Excellent Era, they wanted to get rid of the real cancer of Excellent Era.
Tao Xuan, get lost!
Within a day, such slogans could be seen on the walls, on the ground, and in the hands of players outside Excellent Era. Begging them not to sell Excellent Era? No such players appeared again. They had already realized that selling Excellent Era wouldn't destroy Excellent Era, but if Tao Xuan continued like this, Excellent Era would become a complete disgrace.
Excellent Era belonged to each and every one of them, and what Tao Xuan had was just a few fixed assets. It was just the shape of Excellent Era, not the soul of Excellent Era.
Where was the soul? The soul was in the hearts of every single fan.
The loyal Excellent Era fans, on one hand, criticized Tao Xuan, on the other hand, they began to loudly call for someone who truly loved Glory and Excellent Era to take over Team Excellent Era.
In this instant, Excellent Era came to life.
Fans were a team's greatest wealth.
No one was willing to take over Excellent Era, because Excellent Era had lost the support of its fans because of the mess that had been exposed. Naturally, no one was willing to clean up such a mess. But now, the fans had saved themselves. They realized where the problem was and found a solution. They once again stood up to support Excellent Era. This was something that everyone could see.
This kind of Excellent Era could definitely stand up again. But there was a prerequisite. Tao Xuan had to leave. He could take everything he had and leave, but he wouldn't be able to take any of his fans with him. Even if there was nothing left, the fans would still be here. And with their protection, Excellent Era could be rebuilt from scratch.
How did such a change happen? It was because of Ye Xiu's words in front of the reporters that had awakened countless fans.
Ye Xiu was their captain, forever!
No one would question this anymore. Even if he was the one who had sent Excellent Era out of the Pro League, that was just a match. Nothing else mattered. Wasn't this their captain's attitude on the field?
After an absence of more than a year, their former captain was now officially announcing: he was back.
Unfortunately, he couldn't return to Excellent Era. Even though there were already people calling for Ye Xiu to come back and lead Excellent Era again, most fans couldn't make such a request.
That was too selfish.
Ye Xiu had contributed enough to Excellent Era. There was no reason for them to keep asking him to contribute to Excellent Era.
Ye Xiu didn't owe Excellent Era anything. Instead, Excellent Era owed him a lot.
Disregarding everything else, just look at the player contracts. Han Wenqing, who had fought with Ye Xiu since the beginning of the Pro League, had the best contract in the entire Pro League. But what about their captain? After all these years, he had been holding onto a long-term contract that he had signed at the beginning of the Alliance. In today's world, the income from this contract was laughable.
It was a bit straightforward to talk about money, but Excellent Era owed their captain just like that. And he never complained about it, because that was never what he cared about.
He only ever pursued one thing: victory. This was something that wouldn't change no matter where he was. Right now, Excellent Era's fans could only send him their blessings.
