Tao Xuan wasn't alone. Excellent Era's manager, Cui Li, was with him.
These two were undoubtedly the two most powerful people in Excellent Era. Ye Xiu was surprised to see them here together. Today was Team Excellent Era's away match, and it was a crucial moment that would determine if they would be relegated. However, these two powerful people didn't go with the team to the away match. It wasn't normal for them to come here for supper not long after the match ended.
Cui Li was facing the entrance. When he saw Ye Xiu, he signaled with his eyes. Tao Xuan turned around, and the two of them looked at Ye Xiu.
"What a coincidence. We actually bumped into each other." Ye Xiu took the initiative to greet them.
Chen Guo was still looking for seats, so she didn't notice them. When she heard Ye Xiu's voice, she turned around and saw the two people. She quickly recognized them. Tao Xuan often appeared in the media, and Tao Xuan had personally come to the Internet Cafe before. She recognized them both.
"Ah!" Chen Guo suddenly felt that the situation was a bit awkward, but when she looked at the three of them, she found that they didn't seem to feel awkward at all. The three of them calmly dealt with this situation that was definitely uncomfortable for them. Looking at the friendly smiles on their faces, anyone would think that this was an accidental meeting between friends. They wouldn't think of the various disputes that existed between the three of them.
Chen Guo felt that she had done enough. Someone on the other side spoke up. It was Cui Li who replied to Ye Xiu, "Yeah, what a coincidence!"
"I won't disturb you. You guys can continue." Ye Xiu clearly didn't want to have a deep conversation with them.
However, Cui Li was very interested in them. He said cheerfully, "Not at all, not at all. Are these people with you the members of your new team? Why don't you introduce him to me? We'll have a chance to interact in the future. "
Chen Guo was, after all, the owner of an Internet café. She was someone who often dealt with people. She immediately understood that Cui Li's words had a hidden meaning. Just as she was about to stand up and respond, she didn't expect that Baozi's reaction would be faster. He jumped out before she could: "Aiya! Are you also in the industry? Nice to meet you. My name is Baozi. My close friends call me Bao Rongxing. How should I address you? "
"Hehe." Cui Li smiled gracefully. "Cui Li, the manager of the Excellent Era club. In some teams, he might be called the leader. This is our big boss."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh!" Baozi made four consecutive "oh" sounds before asking, "What's that?"
"Hahahaha!!" Chen Guo laughed so hard that the waiters on the side were scared. Tang Rou was better at controlling her laughter, but it was still difficult for her to hold it in. However, Ye Xiu still explained to Baozi in a serious manner: "The manager is the person in charge of the club under normal circumstances. As for the boss, he is the true owner of the club. He is the one who manages everything behind the scenes."
"Oh, oh. Is it very big?" Baozi asked.
"Of course. It's bigger than us." Ye Xiu said.
"Age?" Baozi asked after looking at the two people.
"You just asked about age?" Ye Xiu and Baozi's thoughts were also a bit strained.
"Something like that!" Baozi said.
As for what "something like that" meant, even Ye Xiu couldn't figure it out. However, Ye Xiu's strength was that no matter what you meant, he would just say what he understood. Thus, he continued to respond calmly: "Speaking of age, it's indeed older than us."
"Amazing!" Baozi praised. It was another mysterious line of thought. Based on the previous conversation, could it be that he was praising Ye Xiu for being older? But the problem was, what was so amazing about being older?
Cui Li's expression was still calm and awkward. He definitely didn't believe that this was the true nature of the person in front of him. He felt that this person must have colluded with Ye Xiu to deliberately ridicule them. With such thoughts, it couldn't be said that Cui Li was a petty person. Baozi's jumpiness was something that normal people couldn't understand. For Cui Li to think this way, it could only mean that he was still a normal person.
In the end, Baozi didn't know this. He went over and patted the manager's shoulder sincerely: "They're all on our side. Please take care of them in the future!"
His words meant "please take care of them," but his actions made it seem like he wanted to take care of others. Chen Guo couldn't be bothered to be happy this time. She went over and tugged at Baozi: "What are you talking about? How are they on our side?"
"Aren't they all in the industry?" Baozi said, "Oh right, what team did you say they were from?"
"Excellent Era!" Cui Li exhaled clearly and repeated it loudly. The expression on his face clearly said: "Pretend! Keep pretending! "
Baozi immediately understood: "Excellent Era! Was it the team that lost miserably on TV? "
"…" Cui Li.
"Yes." Chen Guo nodded.
"Aiya!" Baozi looked at Cui Li regretfully and said in a very pained tone: "You shouldn't have lost!"
"…" Cui Li didn't dare to answer this time. He was afraid that this was another trap. If he followed, he would be ridiculed by the other party again. In his eyes, this guy who called himself Baozi was very scary, very scary.
"Baozi, come over here and sit!" At this moment, Ye Xiu had already chosen a seat and sat down with Tang Rou. He called Steamed Bun Invasion over to sit as well.
Baozi looked back and felt that the seat was very spacious, so he acted on his own initiative and said to Cui Li and Tao Xuan: "Do you want to go over and join us?"
"Hehe, no need …" Cui Li's smile was very unnatural.
"It's just a loss. Don't be in such a bad mood." Baozi comforted him. "As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll definitely have a future."
What the hell!! Cui Li almost slammed the table, but when he saw Tao Xuan give him a look, he didn't act rashly. However, he really didn't want to pay attention to Baozi anymore, so he sat in his seat and didn't say anything else.
Baozi saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he happily ran back to sit with Ye Xiu and the others.
"Amazing!" Tang Rou praised Baozi and gave him two thumbs up.
"Of course." Baozi said happily, but in reality, did he really know what Tang Rou was praising him for?
"Bao Rongxing, is that your name?" Chen Guo asked.
"Yes, yes! How did you know? "Baozi asked happily.
"I heard it when you were introducing yourself to them." Chen Guo tried to adapt to dealing with Baozi.
"Yes, yes, that's my name. Since everyone is so familiar with each other, you can just call me Baozi." Baozi said.
"Okay, let's eat first!" Chen Guo nodded. On the other side, Tao Xuan and Cui Li had already stood up and looked like they were about to leave.
"Take your time, we'll be leaving first." Before they left, Tao Xuan came over and nodded at the four of them. However, his tone wasn't polite at all, but rather a bit cold.
"Take care, take care, go back and work hard! You can do it! " Baozi didn't care at all. Not only did he stand up to send them off, he even cheered them on loudly. Chen Guo almost laughed out loud again.
When the food arrived, the four of them chatted as they ate. There weren't any serious topics until Chen Guo suddenly reacted: "Hey, today is Excellent Era's away match. Those two aren't with the team?"
"Yes!" Ye Xiu nodded.
Chen Guo's reaction was a bit slower, but she also realized that there was a problem.
Excellent Era's results were so bad, but the two big shots of the club didn't seem to be worried. For such an important match, they didn't even follow the team. If it wasn't because they had incomparable confidence, then it meant that they didn't care about how Excellent Era did this season.
With Excellent Era's terrible performance so far, they really shouldn't have that kind of confidence. If that was the case, then did the two big shots of Excellent Era not have any hope for Excellent Era this season? But no matter what, once they were relegated, even if they immediately made it back in the next year, not playing in the Pro League for a year would still result in a shocking financial loss. No matter what, they shouldn't just ignore being relegated, right?
Chen Guo analyzed these problems logically, and Ye Xiu nodded as he listened.
"Could it be that they knew that you were going to start from the Challenger League, so they purposely dropped back to the Challenger League to go against you?" Chen Guo suddenly said.
"That can't be, right? Do they think so highly of me? "Ye Xiu laughed. If that really was the reason, then they were just acting on impulse. Tao Xuan had managed the club and the team for so many years, so he was already a mature boss. How could it be because of this reason? Ye Xiu clearly didn't think so.
"No matter what, Excellent Era will definitely make a big move next season," Ye Xiu said.
"What do you mean?" Chen Guo asked.
"This season is already like this. If they don't make any changes next season, does Excellent Era want to close down?" Ye Xiu said.
"Then why aren't they making any moves now?" Chen Guo asked.
"Maybe it's because they can't handle the current situation!" Ye Xiu said as he looked at the empty seats where the two had left.
Excellent Era Club. After Tao Xuan and Cui Li returned, they went to Tao Xuan's office together. Tao Xuan casually took a bottle of wine from the wine rack, poured two glasses, and gave one to Cui Li.
Cui Li took it, took a sip, and immediately said, "Do you think that guy is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?"
Tao Xuan sat in his large chair and looked up at the ceiling. After a while, he said, "I don't know."
"This Ye Qiu, I really don't know where he found these guys," Cui Li said.
"Let's not worry about him for now. How did your contact go? I didn't have time to finish talking about it before, "Tao Xuan said.
"It went well. Everything went well." When Cui Li mentioned this, he immediately beamed with joy.
"Did you explain everything?" Tao Xuan asked.
"Yes."
"That's good." Tao Xuan nodded.
"Then what's next?" Cui Li looked at Tao Xuan questioningly.
"Yes. Sun Xiang won't fight for now," Tao Xuan said.
"Okay." Cui Li didn't look surprised. Clearly, this was an arrangement that had been discussed beforehand. There was only a slight hesitation, but it was because of something else: "In the revival round, we might really meet Ye Qiu's new team."
"That's good too!" Tao Xuan smiled, "It'll be more interesting!"
