The club could invite a new generation expert like Sun Xiang to reinvigorate the club. But what about the king of the generation? He could only endure the wear of time alone and choose to leave at this time.
He left confidently, but he definitely wasn't willing. He still wanted to fight. He didn't feel like his career had come to an end. But he had no other choice. Accept the club's conditions and stay as a sparring partner? This seemed like a choice to swallow the humiliation, but Ye Xiu saw through it more clearly. He knew very well that the club expected him to be unwilling to accept this humiliation and choose to leave. That was why they gave him this choice. Once he unexpectedly accepted, the club would think of other ways to force him.
This was cruel, but to the club, this was only a business choice. There was no personal emotion involved. The Alliance had become ruthless because of commercialization.
Ye Xiu wasn't ready to retire yet. Actually, even the club knew this. The condition of retirement was proof that they were clear on this point. They wanted to get rid of this burden, but they were also afraid that other competitors would take advantage of this opportunity to become stronger. They would rather Ye Xiu rot than let him become a competitor.
Therefore, forcing Ye Xiu to retire was the result they wanted the most. Without a doubt, they succeeded. Ye Xiu could understand all of this, but he could only follow their script. A life and death struggle? He didn't want to, because he still had a path to continue. Retiring for a year. This forced choice might be an opportunity. Taking a step back would open up the world! Even though this step seemed a bit too big...
"It ends here..." When these words appeared on the projector screen, Ye Xiu finally couldn't watch it anymore. The media purposely made the program emotional, causing some of the people in the Internet cafe to start crying. But in terms of sadness, nostalgia, and misery, who among the audience could compare to him? Ye Xiu squeezed out of the crowd and escaped from the Internet cafe. He stood outside the door and let out a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, he heard the sound of sobbing. When he turned around, he saw that it was actually Chen Guo hiding outside the door alone. Her eyes were also shining brightly.
Since both of them had noticed each other, it didn't seem right not to greet each other. Ye Xiu had no choice but to greet him. "Boss, are you crying?"
"You beast, don't you feel anything at all?" Chen Guo said.
"Too many. Didn't they all escape when they couldn't hold on?" Ye Xiu said.
"Get lost!" Chen Guo scolded. "Do you have any paper?"
Ye Xiu felt all over his body. "Is a cigarette case okay?"
"…"
"I'll go get it." Before the boss could say anything, Ye Xiu hurriedly ran back to the Internet cafe to look for the toilet paper.
The cries in the internet cafe seemed to be louder, both men and women. This time, Ye Xiu really couldn't take it anymore. His heart ached fiercely. He knew very well who these people were crying for. When he thought of this, his eyes couldn't help but heat up. Ye Xiu hurriedly ran to the front desk to ask for a pack of tissues. He rushed out and stuffed it into Chen Guo's hands. He turned around, took out a cigarette, lit it, and fiercely inhaled.
"What are you doing? You're crying too? Do you want some paper? "Chen Guo seemed to have sensed something behind him.
"Why would I, why would I cry?" Ye Xiu turned around and conveniently blew out a mouthful of smoke, spraying it all over Chen Guo's face. The sad tears had just been wiped away by the tissue, but the smoke flowed down again.
Chen Guo waved her hand and flicked the cigarette away. Unexpectedly, she didn't say anything. She stuffed the pack of tissues back into Ye Xiu's hands and turned around to return to the Internet cafe.
Ye Xiu leaned against the door of the Internet cafe and quietly finished smoking his cigarette. He pulled out a tissue and fiercely shook his nose. Then, he walked in large strides towards the small restaurant across from the Internet cafe.
By the time Ye Xiu returned to the Internet cafe with a toothpick in his mouth and a satisfied look on his face, the special screening of Ye Qiu's memory had finally ended. However, the atmosphere in the Internet cafe hadn't completely died down. Quite a few people had red eyes. Fortunately, the majority of the people in the cafe were like this, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. On the other hand, Ye Xiu's calm demeanor was easily seen as a heartless beast. If you didn't explain that you didn't play Glory, then you would be embarrassed to greet them.
Ye Xiu didn't know where Boss Chen had gone. Ye Xiu went to the front desk to ask his little sister. He mainly wanted to ask her what this special event was all about.
After asking, he found out that whenever there was a Glory competition, Happy Internet Cafe would host this kind of special screening. Originally, there wasn't going to be a match today, but with such a huge event like Ye Qiu's retirement, the competitive channel had to hurry up and make a special program. As a result, Happy Internet Cafe treated it as a match.
If it was in the past, after the competition ended, everyone would be fired up. The impulse to play would be unprecedentedly strong, causing the Internet cafe to be full and the income to rise. But after today's screening, the Glory players all had a rare low profile. Some immediately went home to hug their pillows. Some went to drink with their friends to vent. Of course, there were also those who stayed in the Internet cafe to continue playing. After all, not everyone was a fan of Ye Qiu. There were always those who didn't care about his retirement. However, under the influence of the general atmosphere, they were also a bit affected. Even though they continued to play, they were a bit listless.
Happy Internet Cafe was very quiet. Normally, at this time, the Glory players would be holding their headphones, talking with assurance, or shouting. It would be extremely lively.
Ye Xiu was thinking about what to do, when he saw Chen Guo come down from the second floor. He immediately went up to greet her: "Boss, am I officially starting work today?"
"Sure." Chen Guo said, "But when you start work, you can't just sit anywhere. You have to guard the bar."
"Can I play games?"
"Sure, use that one." Chen Guo pointed at the computer where the little sister was watching a Korean drama.
"What about smoking?" Ye Xiu asked.
Chen Guo glanced at him and helplessly nodded her head: "Go ahead, go ahead. But when I come in the morning, there can't be any cigarette smell or ash."
"Understood." Ye Xiu said.
Afterwards, Chen Guo taught Ye Xiu how to turn the computers on and off for the customers. In the end, she said: "Actually, most of the customers at this time are night customers. They've all lined up before 11 and automatically shut down at 7. There's basically nothing for you to do. You just have to guard the computers. If the customers have something to do, they'll ring the bell. "
"What if the computer malfunctions?" Ye Xiu asked. Even though he wasn't an idiot, he didn't have the skills to deal with malfunctions.
"Restart it." Chen Guo said.
Ye Xiu wiped his sweat: "Is it a bad idea to restart it?"
"Change the computer." Chen Guo said.
Ye Xiu sweated again. Just as he was about to ask again, Chen Guo said: "You're always on the night shift. There are plenty of empty computers. Change them as you please. But if there's a problem with the computer, you have to note it down and find someone to deal with it the next day."
"Oh, understood." Ye Xiu nodded his head.
