"Ah? Me? "
Such a serious and far-reaching question was suddenly given to Chen Guo. Chen Guo immediately panicked. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of this question before. She had always worked hard to improve herself so that she could share some of Ye Xiu's responsibilities and manage the team well when Ye Xiu wasn't here. But she wasn't prepared to answer this question at all.
But now, she didn't have time.
She realized the crux of this question. She realized that Fang Rui was asking about Happy's future. And Happy's future would ultimately decide whether or not he would entrust himself to the team.
If even she, the boss, didn't have a firm belief, how could she make the players in the team feel at ease?
It was time to be firm. Chen Guo took a deep breath.
"Ye Xiu isn't here, but Happy will continue on," she said.
"Oh? How will he continue? "Fang Rui asked.
"If he's willing, we'll obviously keep him as a technical consultant, or any position he's interested in." Chen Guo first made arrangements for Ye Xiu.
"As for the others, I believe that they'll have completely matured by then. They'll be able to support our team," Chen Guo said.
"Oh? Then how can you guarantee that they won't leave? " Fang Rui was the master of playing dirty. His eyes suddenly became sharp and astute. "There are many temptations in the pro scene. I know that you've already received a few invitations, and you've all rejected them. But right now, you're still just rookies. If you have another year or two to grow, you'll become All-Stars and win the championships. Your value will reach its peak. At that time, the temptations you'll face will be unimaginable. Money, status, and even some other things. Are you sure you won't be tempted? "
Fang Rui felt that his words were striking at the depths of people's souls. He was afraid that no one would dare to respond easily. But just as he thought this, he heard someone at the table say with certainty, "No."
Fang Rui looked. It was Tang Rou.
She was such a beautiful girl, but in Fang Rui's eyes, she was full of hypocrisy or naivety. She didn't even think before saying "No." Wasn't she overestimating herself too much?
"Beauty, you're really confident." Fang Rui laughed and said in a disapproving tone. He was ready to let this proud beauty understand the real world. "Did you know …"
"What!"
But just as Fang Rui was about to give an example, Chen Guo immediately interrupted him. Of course, Chen Guo knew that Fang Rui was going to slap his face. At the same time, she also knew that he would definitely be slapped instead. In order to prevent Fang Rui from being too embarrassed, it was better to warn him beforehand.
"She really won't be tempted, really." Chen Guo said.
"Oh?"
"Her father is called Tang Shusen. If you don't know, you can Baidu it." Chen Guo patted Fang Rui. She was sitting next to Fang Rui.
This sort of famous person in the business world clearly wasn't a household name. Fang Rui really didn't know who he was. But he could at least tell that this wasn't a small background, so he didn't continue to insist. He decisively hid his hand under the table and started searching on his phone. Not long after, he sat up straight again and raised his head. His expression didn't change as he raised his chopsticks. "Everyone, let's eat. Why isn't anyone eating the two new dishes?"
Everyone laughed, but they didn't expose him.
Talking about money and status in front of Tang Rou was the same as showing off his Glory skills in front of Ye Xiu. Wasn't that just smashing his head against a rock? It was rare for Fang Rui to be so calm, so let him calm down for a while!
Everyone ate silently and didn't say much. Fang Rui, who had already stopped eating after eating his fill, clearly ate the most now. He seemed to need food to digest this information. When he was searching, he had already realized that this beauty's background wasn't simple, but when he saw the final answer, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Eat, eat."
When Fang Rui said this, he really wanted to eat the entire plate.
After this, Fang Rui couldn't continue the topic of seduction. What if this Miss Tang waved her hand and bought the entire Glory Alliance? At that time, the prize money for each team would be paid by her. How could you talk about the benefits of being a player? Seduction my ass!
"Ahem, Happy really … has too much potential …" Fang Rui said.
When Chen Guo heard this, she knew that this person had misunderstood. He clearly equated Tang Rou's background with Happy's background, but in reality, it wasn't the same thing. Tang Rou was like a normal player. She signed a player contract and received her salary. She didn't do anything outside of being a player.
However, this feeling of relying on someone else's might to intimidate others was pretty good!
Chen Guo glanced at Tang Rou. Tang Rou was also giving her a look! Chen Guo smiled. This was one of the things that she liked about Tang Rou. Happy's background was very powerful. After these people found out, it was inevitable that there would be some distance between them. Even Chen Guo, who had the closest relationship with her, couldn't get used to it for a while.
However, Tang Rou faced this strangeness very calmly. She wasn't arrogant about her background, but she also didn't deliberately avoid it. She wasn't like many pretentious young ladies who insisted that others treat her like a normal person. She was still herself. She had always been that Tang Rou. She never ran away from anything. Thus, gradually, the gap caused by her identity disappeared. In everyone's eyes, Tang Rou was still Tang Rou. She hadn't changed at all! The gap was just a result of everyone's imagination. When no one's imagination was running wild, everything was still the same.
Thus, on the other hand, the people around her were looking forward to seeing her suddenly reveal her identity and frighten people. For example, when Fang Rui buried himself in eating and didn't say anything for a long time, everyone felt very satisfied.
However, in the spirit of responsibility, Chen Guo still explained it to him.
"Little Tang is just a normal player here. There's not much difference," Chen Guo said.
"Mm." Fang Rui nodded. This time, he didn't say it directly. He hid his words. Tang Rou was just a normal player? How was that possible? It looked like this Boss Chen didn't understand. This person's background meant that she was a player that no team could control. No team, including Happy.
Money, status, and so on couldn't tempt her. This also meant that they couldn't control her. She only belonged to herself. When she wanted to play, she could play with Happy forever. If there was a day when she didn't want to play at all, who could keep her? What could they use to keep her? A contract? Forcefully terminating a contract? Wasn't it just paying money? Was that even a problem for her?
A strong background overrode the spirit of contracts in this society. This was a little unfair, but also a little helpless. Tang Rou could only rely on her own character. Thus, Fang Rui didn't continue speaking.
Thus, Ye Xiu chose this moment to speak.
"No matter what Happy's future is, we need to create it step by step! You just want to be an outsider and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. You're too wretched, too cunning! Do you dare to create a future together? Do you dare to experience the unimaginable temptation of money and status in the pro scene? "Ye Xiu said.
Fang Rui was silent.
Yes, he was only worried that Happy wouldn't be able to keep her in the future. But what about himself? If he also became a part of Happy, when that day came, would he also waver? Before doubting others, shouldn't he first strengthen his own beliefs? If everyone worked hard together and created a perfect team, why would he need to worry so much? If someone left, there would be someone else to replace them.
Yes, that was how it should be.
Fang Rui slammed the table. "I'll come to Happy!"
"That's great. Welcome." Chen Guo was extremely excited.
"With me around, there's no way you can run away from the championship!" The wretched guys all seemed to have a sense of self-confidence in themselves.
"Okay, then let's talk about the contract," Ye Xiu said.
"F * ck, can't we all be emotional for a few seconds?" Fang Rui was depressed. The atmosphere was so good, but talking about money would ruin it.
"What's there to be emotional about! Are you a newbie? "Ye Xiu said.
"What does the contract say?" Fang Rui asked.
"Look, we're very poor right now. There are only ten dishes for a dozen people. We don't even have soup..."
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door. "Please open the door. The soup is here!!"
Qiao Yifan, who was sitting by the door, quickly opened the door. The waiter came in with the soup. "The door was locked. I hope I didn't disturb everyone?"
"It's fine, it's fine," Chen Guo said. The waiter put down the soup and quickly left. Fang Rui looked at Ye Xiu. "Despicable!"
"In any case, we don't have the money!" Ye Xiu slammed the table. "A 6.5 million contract is impossible. How about 650,000!"
"F * ck, don't go too far! I'm an All Star, okay? How am I supposed to survive if this contract gets out? "
"You can say 65 million to the public!" Ye Xiu said.
"Do you think everyone is stupid?"
"Then how much do you want!"
"It's not a problem to reduce it a little, but it should be at least 5 million, right?" Fang Rui said.
"5 million? Do you have any shame? So what if you're an All Star? My All Star count is piled up in front of you! If I take out all the honors, you'll be buried alive! With my status, I'll cry outside the boss's door every day for a contract at Happy. I'm practically begging for a contract! What kind of status do you have to say 5 million in front of me?! "Ye Xiu said.
Fang Rui was at a loss for words. After a while, he said with a sullen face, "You can't do that!"
"Young man, don't always think about money. Why don't you think about how many honors you'll win at Happy? That's something you can't buy no matter how much money you have, "Ye Xiu said.
Fang Rui was once again speechless. How could this person be so shameless? He made it sound like the championship was a red bean bun that could be easily obtained. If it was a hundred percent guaranteed championship, Fang Rui would be willing to give up a single cent, but the problem was, how could the championship be so guaranteed?
After messing around enough, Chen Guo finally spoke the truth. "Right now, we're really tight on funds. Besides your contract, there's still the transfer fee with Wind Howl. I don't know how much it'll be, but for the first year, we'll start with 3 million. What do you think?"
"Compared to that guy, you're really a good person, boss … but this …"
"This is indeed a huge reduction. However, the first year will be a bit more difficult. Next year, when the situation improves, we'll talk about it again. If you're worried, it's fine to write it in the contract," Chen Guo said.
"This … okay!" Fang Rui finally nodded. He came to Happy. He didn't want to get a big contract, so he was mentally prepared for this. He came here for a brand new future.
