Chapter 162 (3)
Half an hour later, Lu Sicheng dragged Tong Yao back to their training room when he couldn’t stand it anymore– —
“I never knew your English was this good.”
“How are you, thank you, nice to meet you, me too? How hard can it be to greet others with English.”
“The only thing missing is that you didn’t take out a pen to sign autographs for them.”
“It doesn’t make sense for you to be jealous of them.”
“You were almost buried by all those men.” Lu Sicheng stretched his head over to smell Tong Yao. Then childishly said: “You have the smell of strange men.”
Tong Yao grabbed his hand and randomly wiped it on her clothes: “I’ll let you share the smell…… Everyone’s watching, be good, don’t try to mark your territory whenever you feel like it.”
Lu Sicheng pulled his hand back and arrogantly cast a sidelong glance at Tong Yao. Tong Yao ignored him and turned to play a few rank matches to get herself warmed up.
Xiao Rui came back after two or three hours. The form in his hand was filled with scheduled skirmishes he had managed to arrange. Except Lu Sicheng’s old team, TAT, rejected him with the excuse that the team had a full schedule already. The rest of the teams in the first and second seeded pools had all agreed to play with ZDGX– —
Tong Yao teased Lu Sicheng: “Your old boss doesn’t care for you.”
Lu Sicheng: “They won’t care for Li Junhe either. Wait and see. If we can’t get them, YQCB won’t either.”
Tong Yao: “……”
Before Tong Yao could tease Lu Sicheng for always comparing to Li Junhe, what happened next proved Lu Sicheng to be right– —
Around dinner time, about 7 o’clock, the manager of YQCB, with a frustrated face, knocked on the door of ZGDX’s training room to ask whether ZGDX still had time to arrange a skirmish with them.
Tong Yao was standing next to the drinking fountain when YQCB’s manager walked in. She glanced at the scheduling sheet in his hand. There were only the names of two or three teams on it with most of the sheet blank.
Tong Yao was surprised that YQCB couldn’t get other teams to play skirmishes with them.
Was there something wrong?
Even FZ could arrange to have at least 7 or 8 skirmishes.
Tong Yao hadn’t gotten over her shock when the CK manager came over. When he saw the YQCB manager who was standing at the doorway of ZGDX’s training room, his facial expression immediately changed as if to say “I know what’s going on here, I have the same problem.”– —
The manager of YQCB: “I thought it’s because of our bad reputation at the Spring relegation competition that everyone thought we’re really weak so no one wants to train with us……”
The manager of CK: “At least you’ve arranged one with OP.”
The manager of YQCB said with a bitter smile: “It’s just because their bot duo is interested in playing against our bot duo so they agreed.”
In other words, OP agreed to the skirmish because of Li Junhe.
CK’s manager: “I only managed to schedule some teams from Europe and North America. I didn’t even bother to ask the teams in the Korean region. How about our own China region?”
The manager of YQCB shook his practically blank scheduling sheet, then took a look at CK’s manager: “I heard that the reason why our region didn’t do well at S5 was mainly because of our internal competition. The teams refused to play against each other so they wouldn’t give away their strategies?”
The manager of CK immediately understood him: “So, we have to pick ourselves up right from where we’ve fallen down?”
The two managers exchanged a look of determination. They turned to Xiao Rui and pushed him to arrange for a few skirmishes with both teams. Then the two men left with arms around each other’s shoulders, satisfied……
