CHAPTER XVIII
When Gu Yuebai walked out of the room with the smell of inferior alcohol, it was already late at night.
Most of the members of Team Code also clinked glasses in the room, celebrating their hard-earned championship with rituals like taking turns blowing bottles. Even though she had stood at some distance from those people, the noise still pierced through the glass partition, and the noise gave her a headache.
Today was supposed to be the day when Gu Yuebai went home to rest.
She had just negotiated and signed a plan for an investment project from overseas, and was about to buy a ticket to go home directly, but the assistant Qin He suddenly told her that the Code team invested by Gu Yuebai with the stream two years ago won the championship in the National E-sports Professional League not long ago, and now she needs to go to the team's celebration banquet as the boss.
After hearing these words, Gu Yuebai fell into deep thought at that time.
Qin He knew the temper of his boss, the time of this celebration banquet was not set at the right time, and he just bumped into the long-awaited day when Gu Yuebai could go home to recuperate, and it was estimated that there was no need to reserve a seat for Boss Gu.
He was able to speak for Code because of the large scale and high attention of this league, and the team coach wanted to take the opportunity to ask Gu Yuebai for more post-game benefits, so as to stabilize the hearts of the champion team.
In the past two years, the team has struggled to move forward without its own boss paying attention, Qin He has seen every effort in his heart, and naturally feels sorry for them, even if Gu Yuebai does not go to the celebration banquet this time, he also wants to take the opportunity to say a few words for Code.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yuebai finally ended her thoughts, looked up with a puzzled face and asked, "Clan, when is the project?"
Qin He: "......"
He really can't expect this boss who is merciful and doesn't have a long memory!
So Gu Yuebai realized that a strategic professional competitive team sponsored by him on a whim two years ago actually won the first domestic e-sports league championship in the miserable treatment of repeatedly losing its source of funds ("Can this survive?") and not being optimistic about the future.
Although Gu Yuebai had never been in contact with online games in the first 20 years of his life, and he didn't know much about the significance of this competition, he finally remembered the existence of Code under Qin He's reminder. With this secret sense of guilt, Gu Yuebai finally decided to temporarily change her itinerary and arrived at the celebration banquet in time.
Thinking about it now, Gu Yuebai still felt a little confused.
First of all, she grew up in the rich field, and she may not be knowledgeable, but at least she has the ability to observe words and colors.
So when he was introduced by the coach of the team he knew temporarily, it was not difficult to see that the eyes of the players sitting below were full of resentment that was about to overflow. This is easy to understand, after all, no employee can maintain a good attitude without seeing their boss for two years, especially their children who have not grown up yet.
Gu Yuebai snubbed them first, and there was nothing to complain about.
This competition is said to be the last turnaround battle that the team can grasp. Under the hint of the coach, Gu Yuebai knew that there were actually four members of the team of only seven people who were ready to change teams after the game.
In contrast, Han Yu, who is said to be the light of e-sports and a well-deserved MVP player in this competition, and the captain of the Code team, has no intention of leaving, and even insists to this day with the dead salary when he signed the contract two years ago, making it difficult for Gu Yuebai not to remember him.
Gu Yuebai was full of curiosity about this veteran of the Code team, but he could only watch the offline video to get to know him for the time being - because according to the coach, after learning that the probability of Boss Gu coming here was not high, Han Yu immediately took a ten-day long vacation.
But Boss Gu remembered the captain Han Yujin on the screen who was always frowning and constantly giving voice commands to the team members. It's just that that face is very different from the businessmen that Gu Yuebai has come into contact with on weekdays - he looks too young, and he can love something purely and persistently, not to mention in the e-sports circle, even in other circles that Gu Yuebai knows, such a person is too rare.
That's why it's precious.
Lighting a cigarette outside the glass window, Gu Yuebai looked at the scene of staggering and laughing and talking indoors, only to realize that she was no longer young.
Although it is a bit too much to say this, she is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and it is the time to make great achievements in her career, but a few years of business experience makes Gu Yuebai unable to realize more deeply that in fact, she does not have much talent in this area.
If it weren't for the secret help of Mr. Gu and his brothers and sisters, Taoge Company would have been washed away in the last financial tide and there would be no scum left, so where would the current negotiation and cooperation come from?
This is the biggest difference between Gu Yuebai and the members of the Code team, those members may be naΓ―ve, and they are not very good at saying flattering words when facing the boss, but at least the results of this champion team are due to their own hard work in the past two years.
It's not easy to be satisfied, Gu Yuebai saw that Taoge Company had grown from a paper plan to its current scale, how could she be willing to withdraw easily.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuebai snorted lightly, took off the cigarette that was in the corner of his mouth, and pressed it on the lid of the trash can beside him with a little irritability. Due to the lack of funds, the team booked the celebration banquet five days after receiving the prize, firstly, to avoid the peak period when fans came here to reduce the price, and secondly, to ......
"Assistant Qin told us, you may not have time to come over. The coach rubbed his hands flatteringly, and said to the gold owner with a smile, "But if you know the results of our team, you will definitely give out some bonuses, and we estimate that we may be able to use this bonus to hold a banquet." β
The implication is that the league champion team doesn't even have the money to go out for dinner.
Therefore, Gu Yuebai did not find fault with those meals that didn't look delicate enough, as well as unlicensed beer with a bitter smell, but just promised them that he would pay more attention to this team in the coming days, not to mention all the salary improvements, and move to a villa under Gu Yuebai's name as their new training base.
Although the reward came a little late, the team members accepted it gladly. Gu Yuebai was also reluctant to stay at the banquet, making the children timid, and even having to take care of this strange boss when eating, so he withdrew early and left the venue for them to play.
"You...... Hello. β
Just when Gu Yuebai had seen enough of the team's celebration and was about to take out the phone from her pocket to call Qin He to pick up the driver, a voice came from behind her, with some cautious joy.
That voice sounded very young, for Gu Yuebai, she didn't expect that there would be someone who could recognize her here at first, she just thought it was a passer-by who came to ask for directions, so she sorted out her coat very casually, and turned around and responded, "Huh?"
"Do you know the ...... of Area D?" the visitor paused in the middle of his sentence and asked in surprise, "Who are you......?" Look at...... Gu ......"
"I'm not called Gu Gu, my name is Gu Yuebai. Gu Yuebai shrugged her shoulders, and then found that the person was half a head taller than herself, and she was looking at herself with a red face, and it turned out to be Han Yu, who was said to have gone home to review.
β¦β¦ Are the little ghosts growing so tall now, Gu Yue slandered.
Compared with the video, this Captain Jin looks younger, if he didn't know his age in advance, maybe Gu Yuebai would have regarded him as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old academy player.
It's no wonder that Qin He said that there are a large number of female fans in the Code team. Although compared to the big-name stars that Gu Yuebai is used to, the uncared for Han Yu can only be regarded as good, but as long as he is lost among the rough players in the e-sports team, it can be said that he is a little beautiful.
Hearing this, Han Yu's face turned even redder, he touched the back of his head as if he recognized life, and said embarrassedly: "Boss Gu, hello." β
"Yo, know me?" Gu Yuebai raised her eyebrows, feeling that the captain of her own team was unexpectedly a little funny, "Why did you come back suddenly? β
Han Yu nodded when he heard this.
He was wearing an emerald green shirt, and the neckline had been soaked in sweat with a dark silhouette, and he knew that he had trotted all the way to the celebration party. Gu Yuebai understood his pleasure at winning the championship, but he didn't ask Han Yu much about his results, but just raised his hand to point him out where the Code team gathered.
Unexpectedly, Han Yu tilted his head and asked very seriously, "Are you going back?"
This sentence was a bit strange, after all, Gu Yuebai and he had only met for two minutes, and Captain Han Yu crossed the line to ask about the boss's movements, Gu Yuebai really didn't know how to answer appropriately - maybe he was just looking for something to say.
But seeing Han Yu looking at him, his eyes were clear and focused, and he was waiting for an answer very seriously, Gu Yuebai had no choice but to give a vague "um".
"Oh......" But Han Yu seemed to be very disappointed, his eyebrows drooped, and he couldn't even hold back the smile on the corner of his mouth, but he still muttered quietly, "Then you...... Be careful on the road. β
Gu Yuebai was shocked by this instantaneous change in face, but suddenly felt interesting, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?" Are you reluctant to be the boss, or do you want to take the opportunity to ask for a reward?"
She had just come back from her circle, but she didn't care at all that the squad leader standing in front of her was still young, and she subconsciously teased. These dozen words were held in Gu Yuebai's mouth, and in the tone she usually laughed at, another meaning was forcedly said.
Where has Han Yu experienced such a conversation, but when he saw Gu Yuebai pull down his cuffs, he approached himself and spoke vaguely, the sweet perfume mixed with the smell of beer came to his face, which made him unable to even speak, not to mention that in this ambiguous distance, Gu Yuebai's smiling eyebrows and eyes were reflected in Han Yu's eyes, which was so aggressive.
"I, I'm ......" Han Yu's face turned red, as if he was infected by Gu Yuebai, and he was already drunk and messed up.
Gu Yuebai shrank back at this time, and the corners of her mouth were hooked very happily.
She grew up with a golden key, if she said that she might not be good at other aspects, but this kind of ability to say every word like flirting is not shallow, not to mention that Gu Yuebai's face looks at least a little good-looking, and after a little care, she will become a demon, and it doesn't take much effort to deal with a young child like Han Yu.
