Chapter 64 (2)
[Who’s feeding who? Who’s a loving couple with who?]
[I just heard Smiling tell someone to open his mouth!]
[Damn Fatty, I dare you to turn the camera and give us a look– –Who wants to watch you eating crayfish! ! ! Go away! ! ! !]
[Turn the camera, turn the camera– –]
Little Fatty gigled in his seat: “Well, I’m not turning the camera.” “My hands are greasy, can’t turn the camera.” “Come hit me, hahahahaha.” “Why, it’s enough just watching me.” As he was joyously teasing his fans, he saw one comment fly by– —
[Little Fatty, waiting for you at C City next week. Muah.]
Little Fatty stopped stuffing crayfish into his mouth and looked up at his teammates not far away with a confused look on his face. Then he checked the comment again and blinked: “What C City?”
There were more comments. Those who were just asking him to turn the camera now started to fill him in about the news: The ZGDX official Weibo site has just released news that all the major players of the ZGDX will fly to C City Saturday of next week and show up at a certain anime convention. They will be there to promote a certain brand of peripheral equipment from one of the team’s sponsors.
Little Fatty: “……?”
Little Fatty’s reaction to the news was utter confusion: “Next week we have an event at C City? Anime convention? What anime convention– –Our team? That can’t be right. Why don’t I know about this…… We have two matches next week, against Obsidian on Friday and against Red Arrow on Sunday. How can we fly to C City for an event with just Saturday being the only free day? Fly in and out the same day?”
As he was talking, the smile disappeared from his face. He took off the disposable gloves and murmured: “Let me go ask.” Then he turned off the stream.
Little Fatty then checked the official site of ZGDX on his cell phone. He discovered that about an hour ago, the official site had indeed posted the news. What was suspicious about the news release was that it didn’t @ any of the teammates who owned a Weibo account. It was a unilateral announcement– —
As if headquarters was afraid that the team would find out about it. How sneaky.
“Xiao Rui, what is this. We have an event at C City next Saturday? Damn, wake up friend, it takes at least 2 or 3 hours to fly to C City, it’s in the other half of the country. Do you think it’s like going for a field trip to the suburbs? I wouldn’t have even known about it if the fans hadn’t mentioned it on the bullet comments……”
Little Fatty slapped the cell phone on the table as he yelled. Those who were sitting around the table eating crayfish were taken back– –Old Cat stretched his head over to look at the screen of Little Fatty’s phone and frowned. Old Cat looked up at Little Fatty first: “Did you turn off the stream?”
Little Fatty: “Yes.”
Old Cat then turned to look at Xiao Rui and asked quite frankly: “Is there something wrong with this sponsor?”
“Headquarters did tell me that there might be an event like this, but it isn’t confirmed yet– –I told them that we have matches both on Friday and Sunday and won’t have the energy to do any events. They said they will negotiate with the sponsor further to see whether we can have the B team to go instead……” Xiao Rui also stood up and reached over to check Little Fatty’s cell phone. “Damn, looks like the result of their negotiations is sneakily making the announcement without even letting us know?”
Everyone: “……”
After sitting there dumbfounded for a while, Tong Yao suddenly realized something. She took off the disposable gloves and crawled on top of several chairs to get besides Lu Sicheng. With a swift move, before Lu Sicheng could react, she pulled the cell phone out of Lu Sicheng’s hand and took a close look– —
Just as she had expected, their captain was arguing with people at headquarters about the arrangement while all the others were happily enjoying crayfish……
Xiao Ma from the marketing department of ZGDX: QAQ all the sponsors are our providers, Cheng Ge. Just agree to it?
Lu Sicheng: No.
Xiao Ma: As far as I know the two teams you’re against next week aren’t strong teams. It won’t affect your team’s performance just go to C City for the event between two matches……
Lu Sicheng: No.
Xiao Ma: If you are against attending this kind of events, why don’t you buy up the whole ZGDX club?
Lu Sicheng: My last name is Lu, not Ma.
Xiao Ma: We all have to make a living, Cheng Ge.
Lu Sicheng: Alright, I’ll make up whatever difference there is for this event. Let them divest, then.
Xiao Ma: Don’t let us be caught in the middle, Cheng Ge. I’m discussing this with you because you’re one of the owners, but your strong objection puts us at headquarters in quite a difficult position. We already made the official announcement!
Lu Sicheng: It’s you guys who are being unrealistic. Agreeing to any demand from the sponsors only because there’s money there. Now you tell me our refusal to cooperate is giving you a difficult time? Furthermore, did I let you make the official announcement? You really know how to act first, ask later?
