"Internet cafe?" This answer left Gao Yingjie at a loss. He even suspected that he had misheard. When he saw that Qiao Yifan had nodded, he realized that Qiao Yifan had already packed up his things.
It was just a suitcase with some clothes inside. The other equipment was provided by the club. Rookies didn't have the qualifications and didn't have the means to ask for too much material things. He wasn't like many famous celebrity players. After buying their own properties, the rooms provided by the club were just a place for them to rest. However, pro players also had a certain amount of mobility. Who knew when they would have to move to another city, so whether or not they could buy a house depended on their personal situation.
"Where did you say you were going?" Gao Yingjie was still doubtful of Qiao Yifan's answer.
"I'm going to a place to continue training and improve myself." Qiao Yifan smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be back."
"Oh … …"
"It's just that when the time comes, we won't be teammates anymore. It's a shame that I haven't had the chance to play alongside you." Qiao Yifan said.
"It's okay, we're still friends!" Gao Yingjie said.
"You're right." Qiao Yifan smiled.
"I'll send you off?"
"Okay."
The two youths walked out of the club together. However, after exiting the main entrance, one got into the car, while the other stayed behind. They waved at each other, and from then on, they went their separate ways.
City H, Excellent Era Club.
The various welcoming activities for Xiao Shiqin lasted for almost the entire morning and only ended at noon.
The fans left, full of excitement and anticipation. Xiao Shiqin's understanding of Excellent Era had only just begun. The various pro players, the various departments of the club, and so on were all busy for the entire afternoon. Excellent Era was very satisfied with Xiao Shiqin. Of course, Xiao Shiqin wasn't unhappy with this kind of treatment.
The dinner that day was rather casual. It could only be said that it was a simple meal with a lot of people. However, the boss, Tao Xuan, still personally accompanied them. However, the main character was no longer Xiao Shiqin. Sun Xiang, this winter transfer, had arrived half a year earlier than Xiao Shiqin, but Tao Xuan saw him as an important player in the future. He couldn't just leave him out in the cold when Xiao Shiqin arrived. In Tao Xuan's heart, Sun Xiang was the true core of the trump card.
During the meal, the two of them were pulled around by Tao Xuan as if they were his left and right arms. They chatted and laughed, making the other team members jealous. In reality, the Excellent Era was not as harmonious and stable as it appeared to be. After all, this was a relegated team. There were many players in the team. Which one of them didn't have their own plans? Some were willing to bet on the future prospects of the Excellent Era, while others might not. However, no one was in a hurry to make a decision before July 1st. From July 1st to August 31st, the transfer window had just opened. There were two months to operate, so there was plenty of time to observe.
In reality, which of these players, especially the main players, didn't have a few offers in their hands? Relegated teams had always been like a supermarket, where other teams would buy in bulk from them. However, the relegated teams were usually lousy teams. Even if they became supermarkets, the goods were limited. However, the Excellent Era was different! The Excellent Era's relegation was treated as a miracle. No one doubted the skill level of the Team Excellent Era players. With the Excellent Era's relegation, who knew how many clubs contacted the Excellent Era players or secretly communicated with the Excellent Era players.
The Excellent Era hyped up Xiao Shiqin's joining. On one hand, it was to appease the fans and let the supporters continue to have faith in the Excellent Era. On the other hand, it was to beat the competition and tell them: The Excellent Era isn't over yet. Don't think of us as a market. On the contrary, we need to continue to strengthen ourselves! See, Xiao Shiqin? We'll take down an All Star player even if they're relegated!
As for the team, Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin naturally had to be won over. As for the others, they had already done some work beforehand. Now, they could take advantage of Xiao Shiqin's addition to the team to strike while the iron was hot. However, one couldn't eat in one go. Any work had to be done step by step! Currently, Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin were the two main players.
Tao Xuan chatted with these two core players, but he was also paying attention to the other players in the team. From time to time, he would greet everyone. Sometimes, he would even call someone out for a one-on-one chat. He didn't completely ignore anyone.
However, there was still one person at the table who made him feel awkward.
Su Mucheng.
For the rest of the day, Su Mucheng cooperated with all the club's affairs, but she was mostly absent-minded. Just now, when Tao Xuan spoke to her, she only replied with "Mm" and "Oh" and "Oh".
"Haha, why is Mucheng acting like Zhou Zekai today?" Tao Xuan joked. When the boss made a joke, everyone had to laugh. As for why Su Mucheng was acting like this, everyone had their own thoughts. Only Xiao Shiqin was at a loss. He and Su Mucheng weren't strangers. The two had both become pro players in Glory's fourth season. In Glory's history, this year's rookies were known as the Golden Generation. This was because in this season, a large number of players had all become All-Stars.
Apart from Su Mucheng and Xiao Shiqin, Team Blue Rain's Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian, Team Tyranny's Zhang Xinjie, Team Misty Rain's Chu Yunxiu, Team Void's Li Xuan, Team Royal Style's Tian Sen, and Team Micrograss's Li Yihui. This group of All-Stars in their prime had all appeared in Season 4. And every one of them had become the main force of their respective teams. Zhang Xinjie had even assisted Han Wenqing in ending Team Excellent Era's three consecutive championships, becoming the first rookie in Glory's history to win the championship as a first-year player.
The Golden Generation lived up to its name.
And this group of people didn't keep a low profile, creating a group called "Golden Generation." Of course, they weren't really arrogant. They were just young people who wanted to have fun. In reality, every year's rookies would create a group to communicate with everyone. It was just that this year, they had the nickname "Golden Generation." If there was another difference, it would be that the majority of rookie groups started out with the rookies struggling to make a name for themselves. As for their "Golden Generation", they were all talented mainstays the moment they came out, so there was no need for them to talk about such topics.
With the group being noisy, everyone's relationship was naturally quite good. Moreover, there were two female players in this group, and one of them was a super beauty like Su Mucheng. They were no different from normal people when they were bored. The Golden Generation was quite harmonious internally. Xiao Shiqin and Su Mucheng could be considered to have a bit of a personal relationship. When he came to Excellent Era, he thought that other than Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian, who had been on the same team from the start, the rest of the Golden Generation had finally gathered together through the transfer. But now that he saw Su Mucheng's indifferent attitude, he was a bit puzzled.
With Xiao Shiqin's understanding of Su Mucheng, this attitude shouldn't be directed at him. After seeing Su Mucheng say "Mm, Ah, Oh" to Tao Xuan, Xiao Shiqin, as a team captain, could see that Su Mucheng probably had some conflict with the team. It seemed that Excellent Era also had internal problems. And the problem was with Su Mucheng. Xiao Shiqin immediately thought of all the rumors about Ye Qiu's retirement.
Just as he was about to leave, Tao Xuan's attention turned to him and Sun Xiang: "I'll take you guys somewhere in a bit."
"Ah?" Xiao Shiqin was startled, "Where?"
"Very close." Tao Xuan smiled.
Xiao Shiqin glanced at Sun Xiang. Sun Xiang shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
"Eat, eat." Tao Xuan greeted everyone with a smile on his face. In truth, he was also a little annoyed by Su Mucheng's antics.
In reality, he didn't plan on keeping Su Mucheng, and he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell her for a high price. But in the end, he didn't think that Su Mucheng herself would be stuck. Su Mucheng had no intention of transferring. If she didn't have the player's approval, then no matter what she did, it was useless. As for an exchange, Su Mucheng only had one year left on her contract, which was a big obstacle. No one was willing to trade for a valuable player and then leave after one year. So even if it was an exchange, in Su Mucheng's situation, the buyer would ask for the contract to be renewed first. But the problem was that Su Mucheng refused to renew her contract with Excellent Era, and also refused to renew the contract with the buyer. She clearly wanted to leave after this year.
Tao Xuan was depressed! A player that could be traded for a lot of money couldn't be sold for money. What made him even more depressed was that Su Mucheng was a player who had a lot of endorsements. In the contract between the club and the sponsor, she was required to appear in a certain number of matches. Otherwise, the sponsorship fee would be reduced. But what about Excellent Era now? They were being relegated ….. Their appearances in the Challenger League didn't count. This season, Su Mucheng's endorsement fee would be greatly reduced, and the sponsors wouldn't be happy about it! But they couldn't do anything about it. They really didn't expect Excellent Era to be relegated. It was really a miscalculation!
Such a valuable player would stay to play in the Challenger League, but once she returned to the Pro Alliance, she would leave. This didn't fit Tao Xuan's operating philosophy at all. But he couldn't do anything about it. He wanted to sell her, but she couldn't. Keeping her was already a problem, but Su Mucheng was still pretending to be Zhou Zekai, creating even more problems. Tao Xuan was so angry that he couldn't do anything. He knew that Su Mucheng was waiting for the contract to end so that she could go find Ye Qiu. Who knew if her current actions were instructed by Ye Qiu!
Ye Qiu!
Tao Xuan was already prepared to pay a visit to his former captain. That's right, he was going to bring along the two core members of Excellent Era. He wanted to see how Ye Qiu could maintain his confidence in front of such a duo.
