"Old friends? Are they Brother Xuefeng, Brother Tianran and Sister Xia Ming?" Su Mucheng thought of these three people first.
"No, it's a surprise. You'll know it when you get here." Ye Xiu said, "But don't come to the Internet cafe. It's easy to be watched. We are going to Cross Lake Tower. You can just take a taxi there. By the way, call
Go to Brother Tao, that person wants to see him. If he doesn't come, tell him he's the person we all want to see in our dreams. If he doesn't come, make this call."
"Still calling him?" Su Mucheng pouted.
"That's your brother Tao." Ye Xiu said, "I can't blame him entirely for this matter. Be obedient and don't act petty."
"Oh..." Su Mucheng responded.
"That's it for now. We'll contact you when you arrive at Cross Lake Tower." Ye Xiu said.
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Su Mucheng frowned and thought for a moment.
An old friend that she, Tao Xuan, and Ye Xiu all wanted to see in their dreams. There were not many such people. Who could it be?
A figure slowly emerged in her mind, and then she shook her head.
What are you thinking about? He has already...
Shaking her head again, Su Mucheng found sunglasses, a hat and a mask, got up and left the room.
She is an e-sports star, so she must disguise herself when going out, otherwise she will be easily recognized, which will cause trouble.
Arriving at the boss's office, Su Mucheng raised her hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Su Mucheng opened the door and went in, "Mr. Tao..."
She still felt resentful in her heart. She really couldn't call him Brother Tao.
Tao Xuan, who was sitting behind the desk, frowned slightly, then put on a friendly expression and said, "It's Mucheng, are you okay?"
"Are you free?" Su Mucheng asked.
"Well, I'm pretty free today." Tao Xuan said, "What's wrong?"
"Come to the Cross Lake Tower with me." Su Mucheng said, "He called and said... there is an old friend we all want to see in our dreams who wants to see us."
"Did Ye Qiu call?" Tao Xuan asked.
"Yeah." Su Mucheng nodded.
"An old friend, the one we all want to see in our dreams, is Xuefeng?" Tao Xuan asked.
Wu Xuefeng, the vice-captain who retired from Excellent Era’s third season?
But what he said couldn't reach the level that he only dreamed of seeing, unless Su Muqiu came back from the dead.
"He didn't say." Su Mucheng said.
"Okay, wait a minute while I explain to Cui Li." Tao Xuan said and picked up the phone.
After a few explanations on the phone, Tao Xuan opened the drawer and took out his driver's license and car keys, stood up and said, "Let's go, Brother Tao will be your driver."
"Yeah." Su Mucheng nodded.
…………
In the car heading to Cross Lake Tower, Su Mucheng sat quietly in the passenger seat without saying a word. Tao Xuan didn't know what to say. The atmosphere in the car was terrifyingly dull.
"Mucheng..." After a long while, Tao Xuan, who was holding the steering wheel, couldn't help but break his calm.
"Huh?" Su Mucheng glanced at him, "Is something wrong?"
"I know that after Ye Qiu left, you felt resentful towards me, Cui Li and Liu Hao, and even the entire Excellent Era." Tao Xuan said, "But about Ye Qiu... I am actually very helpless.
"
"Yeah." Su Mucheng responded, "He also told me that... you can't be entirely blamed for this matter."
"Really? It's good that he can understand." Tao Xuan said, "You also know that the current alliance has been completely commercialized, and in Excellent Era, although he is the league's leading god, he does not live and die in public.
The existence of showing up is considered an anomaly among professional players, but his status is so high. With him in Excellent Era, except for you, the most beautiful woman in the league, those sponsors do not look down on other players, such as Liu Hao, and
Shen Jian and the others are obviously very capable, but they just can't stand out. As time goes by, the team members will feel resentful towards him."
"Yeah." Su Mucheng responded again. How could Bingxue be so smart and not see this?
"Although I am the boss, I cannot forcefully interfere in this kind of thing." Tao Xuan continued, "And a stall as big as Excellent Era needs to be run, and I have to face all kinds of investors and alliance personnel every day.
, I really can’t spare the time to take care of this, and you also know Ye Qiu’s bad temper. Not only the players, Cui Li has also disliked him for a long time.”
"Because of these messy reasons, the team's performance has been unable to improve. I also know that this is not his responsibility alone, but I can't kick Liu Hao, Cui Li and so many others, right?"
Su Mucheng nodded, this is correct.
"Furthermore, Ye Qiu's condition has been getting worse and worse in recent years. You also know that he has not paid attention to his work and rest." Tao Xuan added, "I can't say whether his condition has declined specifically, but Long Tiantou has been there for two years.
This skill has not appeared in many seasons. This skill is his irreplaceable signature skill in the eyes of fans. If he doesn't use it, fans will feel that his condition has begun to decline. It is no better than it was back then. Stars are the most important, such as Zhou Zekai.
Can he be called the number one player in Glory just because he is handsome? No, it is because of his gorgeous playing style. In the eyes of the audience, Ye Qiu's tactics are superb, but how many people can understand them? Audiences
I just want to watch the one-on-three arena match, and I just want to see the team match turn the tide. I don’t believe Ye Qiu can’t see these, but he is too stubborn.”
Su Mucheng was speechless, she also knew this.
"I hesitated for a long time to let Sun Xiang replace him, so I didn't go poaching Sun Xiang during the summer transfer period." Tao Xuan continued, "As for forcing him to retire before, although it was Cui Li's idea, he was afraid that Ye
Qiu Zhuan will become Excellent Era's opponent, but I also agreed. On the one hand, I do share Cui Li's concerns. You may think I am shameless, but in fact, it is for his own good."
"For his own good?" Su Mucheng frowned, asking a 25-year-old veteran to stop his journey for a year. When he comes back, will he be able to return to his previous state?
"I know he won't give up and will definitely come back." Tao Xuan explained, "But you also know him. If he transfers, I believe he will still care about his work and rest as before. He is also a big smoker. I worry about it for a long time.
He won't be able to hold on."
Su Mucheng was stunned. Regardless of whether this was Tao Xuan's excuse or not, at least she hadn't considered this.
"Maybe after a year of silence, his condition will decline, but even so, if he stops and rests for a year, he can at least take good care of his body. His strings have been too tight. When you contact him again
He also advised him that if he can't quit smoking, at least stop for a while, adjust his work and rest, and exercise. The body is the most important thing." Tao Xuan said, "Maybe this doesn't seem right to you and him, but this
It is also the last thing I can do. Unfortunately, he has become unpopular in Excellent Era. I cannot give him a glorious ending and can only retain his glory in front of the public."
"...I understand." Su Mucheng said.
Although she was still a little unhappy, her resentment had indeed subsided a lot after Tao Xuan's words.
If nothing else, Ye Xiu really couldn't go on like this endlessly. His body really needed to be worried. Tao Xuan was right about this.
"...Brother Tao...is there any water?" Su Mucheng asked.
"Huh? Are you thirsty?" Tao Xuan said, "Cui Li usually puts two bottles of water in the storage box in front of the passenger seat. Can you see if there is any?"
"Yeah." Su Mucheng nodded and opened the storage box. There were indeed two bottles of water inside.
She took out a bottle and unscrewed the cap, then handed it to Tao Xuan, "Here, after talking so much, are you thirsty?"
Tao Xuan was stunned, slowed down the car, and turned to look at her. Su Mucheng's face had returned to the sweet smile that Ye Qiu had when he was still in Excellent Era, "Is it for me?"
"Yeah." Su Mucheng nodded.
Although she still felt resentful, Ye Xiu didn't blame him, and there was no need for her to be sulky with Brother Tao, who had always taken care of her since she was a child.
