As a manager, Zhou Huos professional ability was naturally, much stronger than Qld Qiao and the others. With the media team that Zhou Huo brought with him, they now had the ability to clarify the situation.
They presented ideas in an orderly and methodical manner and in an instant, the preparatory work was arranged systematically.
Like Old Qiao and the others, Zhou Huo had long had the idea to find a suitable opportunity to dredge out the events of that year and have it rehashed. Now, one mustnt go into battle unprepared. With this surveillance video, everything was going to proceed much more smoothly.
A big weight was taken off Zhou Huos mind and it was only then that he managed to take a good look at the two in the corridor. Eh...what were you two talking about just now? Though I dont want to disturb you two, but, Yu Sui...did you leave your phone in the conference room?
Your parents have been trying to call you but no one answered so they already called Chen Huo.
Yu Sui turned around and headed for the meeting room.
Evil. Zhou Huo looked at Shi Luo. Are you...going to spend the night here? Your room has been sorted out, but its a little empty. We havent managed to prepare some of the basic things yet.
If you dont mind though, would you like to stay here tonight?
Shi Luo said, My stuff is still in IAC, originally...
Originally, you should have directly come over with your stuff but everythings a mess right now. Our driver has also gone home already. So... Zhou Huo proposed, How about I get my car and drive you there? My cars pretty big so it definitely has room for your stuff.
Shi Luo instinctively looked towards the conference room. Zhou Huo smiled, Of course, you could also wait for Yu Sui but he might not finish his phone call with his parents anytime soon. His parents must have heard the news and must be feeling distressed for their son.
I dont know how long theyll be talking.
Shi Luo sullenly said, Then, Ill have to trouble you.
Whats the matter, lets go. Zhou Huo said while walking, Youre old enough to get your license, right? You havent found the time to take the drivers license exam? This year, well have to find some time and hire an instructor for you...
Zhou Huo drove and Shi Luo sat in the co-pilot seat. For a while, silence reigned between them.
After driving out of the compound, Zhou Huo turned off the music. Its gonna be a pretty long drive, if youre sleepy, you can sleep for a while. If not, we can chat for a bit.
Shi Luo shook his head, You dont have to mind me. Do what you have to do, make the calls you need to make.
You mean this situation of Yu Suis? No need for you to worry about that. Zhou Huo let out an easy breath. Theres a reason why Yu Suis spending so much to hire me as manager. I deal with these problems for you.
Thats my job. Not to mention that I myself have long wanted to deal with Ji Yanhan. So, you can relax.
Shi Luo frowned, Thats good, but what do you want to talk with me about?
As an exemplary businessman, Zhou Huo wasnt about to let go of any details that can make a profit for the team. Just now, he had watched the surveillance video and had also taken note of what Ji Yanhans sentiments. Now, that huge matter from before had signs of a positive outcome.
Zhou Huo wanted to probe out what Shi Luo was thinking.
Nothing, really. Im just worried that if this thing between you and Yu Sui wont be resolved, it might hinder the future development of the team. Zhou Huo drove very steadily, and the words were very gentle.
You and Yu Sui have been awkward with each other all this time, wont it affect your performances during the matches?
Shi Luos tone was stiff. It wont.
Thats good then. Zhou Huo realized that the two of them hadnt completely melted the ice and stopped trying to incur some bad luck. He changed the topic and said, Thats right. I heard you have a girlfriend. Is that true?
Shi Luo titled his head and looked at Zhou Huo, I dont. What about it?
Nothing. If you dont have one, thats great. Its easy to get distracted by a girlfriend. Zhou Huo asked again, Did you not have time to look for one because of your career or did you always didnt have one?
Shi Luo never spared a thought for this. Ive never had one.
Never had one, never had one... Zhou Huo mumbled to himself repeatedly, Is there someone you like?
Shi Luo looked up and down at Zhou Huo, He had on this look that was short of directly saying, Even ignoring the fact that were not that familiar with each other, is it even appropriate to be talking about sh*t stuff like this under this kind of situation?
Zhou Huo smiled, Chatting. Were just chatting. Im curious.
Shi Luo sat down properly. I dont know.
What do you mean by I dont know? Zhou Huo said, Most people are already realize this kinda this when theyre about thirteen or fourteen. No one has caught your interest?
Shi Luo said coldly, When I was 13 or 14, I was thinking about how to run away from home. I really didnt have those kind of thoughts.
Zhou Huo had also heard about some things regarding Shi Luos family and realized that hed made an indiscreet remark. He asked instead, Then how about after leaving home? After you started your career?
Shi Luo narrowed his eyes, Do you want to ask me if I like Yu Sui?
Zhou Huo choked.
Shi Luo looked at Zhou Huo warily, The reason why you wanted me to do a live broadcast with him before was not just to ease the relationship between us and let the fans gradually accept it. You also want to use our relationship for business, just like you did before to Gu Gan and Wawa, right?
Zhou Huo laughed, Evil, when adults chat its generally not so straightforward. Youre a little too clever.
Shi Luo said coldly, Im not Wawa, dont play those games with me. If you have something to say, tell it to me straight.
Alright. Zhou Huo said while driving, I dont quite understand though. Whats so wrong about that? Look at Gu Gan, that old-fashioned straight man. He cooperated with it.
At the time, under my arrangement, whenever they did a live broadcast, they would team up. The effect was particularly good. Wawas commercial value rose many times over in an instant. It made my work easier and he was also accepted by NSNs fans.
He was happy every day, his mentality improved. His performance in the matches also improved. He was more confident and stable.
Then you can rest assured that Im not the same as Wawa. Even if I dont get along with my teammates, Im going to be confident and stable in the game. Shi Luo said with a sullen face, That goes double for Yu Sui.
Shi Luo looked out of the window, After this matter is clarified, the number of sprayers should go down. As for the rest...once we start showing results, theyll naturally shut up.
What you say is true. But since you two arent easily affected, why wont you just listen to my arrangement and cooperate with me? Zhou Huo didnt want to release this cooked duck, In any case, neither of you care about that other people say.
Shi Luo took off his baseball cap, smoothed out his hair and put it back on again. Others cant affect me, but I can affect myself.
Zhou Huo frowned, I&#k2026; I dont understand.
Shi Luo looked out the window and refused to explain.
Shi Luo was just a player, not a broadcast anchor, nor an actor. There were some things that once faked too often, would no longer come out.
Zhou Huo pondered on it for a long time and had a thought. He asked carefully, Then you&#k2026;were interest in Yu Sui before? Two years ago before things broke down?
Shi Luo didnt answer.
Zhou Huo sighed, Shi Luo was a tough nut to crack. No wonder Yu Sui hadnt won him over two years ago.
At night, there were few cars on the road and everything was quiet. After a long time, when Zhou Huo thought that Shi Luo had already fallen asleep, Shi Luo took his bag and pulled out his headphones. About Yu Sui... I dont know.
Zhou Huo was confused, You still dont know?
Im trying to retrieve our old FS accounts. Its nothing. Yu Sui looked at Shi Luo, Youve... gotten all your things?
The look Shi Luo directed at Yu Sui was a bit evasive. En.
Zhou Huo sat down and said, Is there really no hot posts we need to clarify?
None. Nearly all of them have changed tunes already. Yu Sui used Zhou Huos laptop to casually look through the posts. Including the hottest post yesterday, the hottest one now, is...someone elses.
Yu Sui re-opened the post he projected onto the screen last night:
[That disloyal servant, Whispers own team was promoted thru the qualifiers today and in their last game, they sent their old home, Team FS packing. How do you look at this?
#1 Hot Post:
As an old fan of Whispers, there are a few things Id like to say.
Im not a champion fan, nor a girlfriend fan. Im a guy. Im a purebred couch potato kind of guy. I started playing FOG from its public beta.
I really like this game. When I first started to like this game, I found out there was this very good player playing as a medic. Thats all.
At that time, Whisper wasnt Yu Shen yet. He wasnt a champion medic and he hadnt even been playing professionally but a lot of players already knew of him. Because he was the first player to top the national server as a medic after the public beta.
I learned how to play a medic by watching Whispers videos back then.
Im a relatively early fan. I watched Whisper make a stunning debut at the age of 15, watched him continue to dominate the national server, watched him be brought into Team Knife Edge by Ji Shen, and watched him be pitted by his old boss because he was inexperienced in the ways of the world.
I watched him and Ji Shen set off to create a new club, watched this 16-year-old take over the position of captain, watched him get better year after year. I watched his teammates join team FS one after the other, watched him lead the team to take home the World Championship.
I watched him stand at the highest peak of the league.
Then I watched him as he fell from that highest peak.
At the time of the incident, us old fans were mocked and scolded. We were caught unprepared and we didnt know how to respond.
It was all too sudden.
It was indeed him who suddenly switched to the European division, it was him who demolished the team, and it was him who sold Shi Shen.
A large number of fans became haters, and the remaining fans didnt know what to say.
But I always felt that the captain Ive been watching since he was 15 years old isnt this kind of person.
It turns out that he really isnt.
Whispers personal ability is really strong. There can be no doubt of that. But his teams have been a bit unlucky. They encountered these two owners and both were orphans.
He wasnt completely faultless in all this. For one, when he entered the league, he didnt choose his club carefully. For another, he was too trusting of the captain who brought him into the league. But these mistakes arent reprehensible, are they?
After being thoroughly cheated by his former captain, he managed to safely send Xiao Shi Shen to NSN, he managed to have Qiao Shen who had a hand injury at the time to remain in the country, and he managed to ensure that Chen Huo and Puppy would smoothly return to China after two years.
Isnt it enough?
I dont know if anyone remembers but Whisper was barely 19 when he arranged all this.
He was certainly no longer a child at the time, but he was only nineteen years old.
I know that all of you, when you were 19, were winners in life, full of vim, passing judgement on everything and hadnt committed even the slightest fault. But Im sorry, when I think back when I was 19, I was nothing but a f*cked up good-for-nothing.
Thats why I cant even imagine how he had managed to bear all that.
I played this game during the open beta, playing it every day with a bunch of my college roommates. Then, we graduated. Everyone began getting married and starting their own career. We played less.
Wed play a couple of games on Sundays or when we didnt have to do overtime.
I accidentally found out about this news. It accidentally stirred up some past emotions. It accidentally made me sigh a bit. Thats all.
I knew Whisper since he was 15 years old. At the time, I was in my sophomore year, and he had just joined Team Knife Edge.
Later, Yu Shen went to Germany and his reputation was ruined. I graduated and started work and I uninstalled the game. I havent paid much attention to this game in recent years.
Unexpectedly, the youngest captain during that time at 16 years old, had reached this point through so many twists and turns.
When I got to this topic, and I saw this post, I felt that if I didnt write something, I would be letting down my youth.
I seem to have gone a bit off topic. Im sorry. I will leave my answer at the end. Whisper has established his own team, how do I look at it?
My official answer is: How do I look at it? I look at it with my eyes.
He fights, I watch.
While I am writing this, Im downloading the game once again in the background. Ive just logged into my account after two years. My assassin-type medic uses the same skin and attire as the original Whisper.
After two years of absence, the dagger in the medics hand is as sharp as before, and the light remained the same.
The rest of them saw this post and were speechless for a while.
Chen Huo gritted his teeth, Damn, finally, this day has come.
The timing is just right. Do you want to go ahead and announce Shi Luos transfer? Zhou Huo looked at Shi Luo. Is it all right?
Shi Luo nodded, Zhou Huo turned to Yu Sui and Yu Sui said, Okay, the headquarters just sent me your officially recovered accounts. Theyve updated the team name. Im sending them to you. Remember to change your password.
They received their old accounts.
Chck out ltst vl on n/o/v/l/bin(.)c//m
Shi Luo picked up his phone and saw his old account, his eyes flickered.
Old Qiaos eyes were red. He stood up and said, Anyway, I cant sleep anymore. Lets start up the computers! Well change our password.
In the early hours of dawn, on the FOG national server, a bunch of old players who followed the former FS team, received a series of announcements on their feed.
It has really been so long since they last saw this announcement that many of the old players even thought they were dreaming because of the all-nighter they pulled playing the game.
