Chapter 110 (1)
To Tong Yao’s surprise, when both Lu Sicheng and Dubhe went back to the break room after the awkward encounter, both of them showed good self-control, pretending nothing had ever happened……
It was especially evident when Lu Sicheng asked Dubhe whether Dubhe had put in extra effort the past couple of days practicing Jinx given his good performance today. Tong Yao felt that her captain truly deserved an Oscar.
Dubhe nodded, not surprising at all, and looked up at Lu Sicheng with a stone face: “I played a custom game by myself to practice farming to get the feel of it. I don’t need to memorize the damage at each level since I got used to it after trying it out once– –I felt that I could handle her in today’s match, so I asked the coach to let me take Jinx for a spin today.”
Tong Yao: “……”
Tong Yao felt that he also deserved an Oscar.
In addition, it had taken her a whole night to practice farming with Azir plus she had used Lu Yue’s account to practice quite a few rounds before she could play Azir decently……Dubhe’s words were quite annoying to Tong Yao’s ears.
At the same time, all the other players surrounded them all felt the same as Tong Yao– –Yet, everyone could see that Dubhe played really well today. There was nothing anyone could say about Dubhe’s pretentiousness– –Little Fatty giggly patted Dubhe’s shoulder and said: “Well, well, genius ad teenager.” Lu Sicheng simply nodded and said: “Not bad.” Then he put the earbuds into his ears without saying anything more about it.
When Lu Sicheng got on the bus, he took out his cell phone and saw someone was trying to stir up trouble on WeChat– —
[Rabbit holds tight of carrots: I thought you were going to answer: I don’t need to practice and I won’t miss any minions……Or at least saying: Oh, just like me.]
Lu Cicheng: “……”
[fhdjwhdb2333: What Dubhe said in front of the restroom, there’s at least one thing he got right.]
Tong Yao, who was sitting at the front, stretched her head out above the armrest and took a look silently at the man in the very last row. Lu Sicheng paused for a second, then looked down to continue typing– —
[fhdjwhdb2333: Old men are kinder. If an old man like me has to haggle everything with kids like you guys, then I would have wasted all the rice that I’d eaten before you all those years.]
Tong Yao stared at the word, kinder, and didn’t think too much into it. All she could think of was that after training matches, if any of her teammates had made a mistake, everyone would be scared just by the mention of the name ‘Lu Sicheng.’ She offhandedly replied on WeChat: “Oh, hahahahahahaha.”
……At the moment, Tong Yao had overlooked one thing. That Lu Sicheng, in addition to being their teammate, was also one of their bosses– —
The fact that Lu Sicheng was one of the owners of ZGDX meant that when he discovered that Dubhe had contacted another club privately to discuss switching clubs outside the normal transfer window, he had the absolute right and a valid reason to punish Dubhe– –By convention, all major league clubs would severely punish a player for this kind of betrayal; the lightest could be a pay deduction plus suspension for one season, a more severe one could be impounding the player’s contract and suspending him from playing any games till he was past his prime.
Yet, Lu Sicheng didn’t do any of that.
Even though he knew Dubhe wasn’t very friendly towards him and Dubhe did have the ability to threaten his own position, he still didn’t do anything and pretended as if he didn’t know anything about it.
……
When they went back to the hotel, Lu Sicheng sat inside Tong Yao’s room watching the video of the game between the junior league RMB Team and the CK Team. He had turned the sound way up– –Even as Tong Yao who was washing her face and hands inside the bathroom, she could still hear very clearly all the exchanges between the two commentators……
