Looking at the back of the cuckoo walking in the corridor with coffee, Su Zhe suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
In the past, the cuckoo gave people the feeling of being capable and calm, and the aura was strong, but today Su Zhe always felt that the back of the cuckoo seemed weak and frivolous, and even had a sense of despair.
What's more, in the past, when would the cuckoo talk to the team members, when would he leave after the call? Even if there is something urgent to be dealt with in the office, Cuckoo will take the team with him.
From the establishment of the Pa team to the present, Du Juan has taken great care of the team members, like a sister and a gentle and responsible teacher, but now Su Zhe can only look at Du Juan's back in the corridor, which inevitably makes Su Zhe think nonsense, he always feels that Du Juan is a little strange, as if he dare not face himself.
"I wish I had a lot of heart......"
Su Zhe smiled bitterly and muttered to himself, and then followed the cuckoo over.
When the two entered the office, Cuckoo locked the door of the office vigilantly - which made Su Zhe even more strange, Cuckoo never locked the door when talking to the team.
"Sit down."
Cuckoo said with a smile as he lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee.
At this time, Su Zhe noticed that the hand holding the coffee cup was trembling, a very slight but easily visible tremor.
"Sister Juan, didn't you rest well last night?"
Su Zhe asked in a low voice, his voice cautious.
The cuckoo smiled and said, "Well, it's okay, maybe I'm too nervous to play the finals soon." β
After speaking, Du Juan put the coffee cup on the table, looked up at Su Zhe's eyes, his lips moved, but he stopped talking.
Su Zhe felt more and more strange, frowned and asked, "Sister Juan, your current state is a little wrong, our team ...... What's going on? Is there anything I can do? β
The cuckoo smiled, but Su Zhe could see that the cuckoo was obviously smirking.
Du Juan said: "No, don't think about it, our team is very good now, with everyone's efforts, especially under your leadership, our team can now be said to have never been so good, whether it is the results of the game, or the influence in the media, our Pa team is a miracle, a miracle born from the King City Competition." β
When Su Zhe heard Du Juan say this, instead of being relieved, he became even more worried.
"Sister Juan, what the hell is going on, let's stop going around in circles, let's talk about it." Su Zhe said in a low voice.
Du Juan saw that Su Zhe had seen through everything, and his brows, which had been forcibly stretched, finally wrinkled.
She sat down in her chair, glanced up at Su Zhe, and said with a guilty and embarrassed face: "Okay, since we are both old friends, then I will say some things directly." Our Pa team now has a very high status in the hearts of the media and the audience, and it has almost been deified. Su Zhe, this has a lot to do with you, you are a well-deserved ace of our Pa team......"
With that, Cuckoo pushed his laptop over and showed one of the web pages.
"Su Zhe, look, these are several websites that specialize in betting, and among them, the odds for the final of our next King City Tournament have been ......"
Su Zhe looked up and saw that the betting site had indeed begun to place bets, and the odds of the bets were different from what Wangcai showed him, and the odds on the A-storm team were 1:7.73.
Seeing this, Su Zhe raised his head and asked, "Sister Juan, what do you mean?" β
Du Juan's face was pale, her lips were dry, she took another sip of coffee, and then she was able to continue: "Su Zhe, our club is not yours, nor mine, it was opened by Boss Tang, and Boss Tang is a businessman, he opened this club, and the purpose of forming this team is not for glory, not for the enthusiasm for e-sports, but for money, for profit......"
Speaking of this, Du Juan lightly pointed to the screen: "Now everyone thinks that our Pa team will definitely defeat the A-storm team in the finals, and even adjusted the odds of the A-storm team to a height of 1:7 and 1:8, Su Zhe, do you know what this means?" This means that once A-storm wins the championship, then the person who buys them will have a 7 or 8 times leverage, and if it is a million-level capital investment, then the income will be tens of millions, and the windfall profits in it, have you ever thought about it? β
After the cuckoo said these words, his cheeks turned from the miserable white just now to red.
Obviously, Du Juan also felt that it was an extremely shameless and despicable thing to talk about these filthy contents with Su Zhe and a person who single-handedly brought the Pa team to the pinnacle of glory. But the cuckoo said it anyway, and in great detail.
Of course, Su Zhe understood what Du Juan meant, he knew how to earn this money and how to earn it, but Su Zhe couldn't accept it at all, he felt that it was ridiculous.
"Sister Juan, what do you mean...... Do you want us to deliberately lose to the A-storm team in the finals, so as to give Boss Tang a chance to make a profit? Su Zhe asked with a sneer, he couldn't even believe that Du Juan would make such a request.
But the fact is that the cuckoo did mention it, again and again.
"Yes Su Zhe, don't get excited, when this deal is completed, Boss Tang will give each of you a big red envelope, which will be more than ten times your signing fee, enough ......" Du Juan said with a smile, but there was a little helplessness in this smile.
"Stop."
Su Zhe raised his hand and fiercely stopped the cuckoo from continuing to speak.
"Sister Juan, our Pa team has come all the way to the present, and it is possible to have the qualification to compete for the championship of the King City Competition, which is won by everyone's hard work, everyone's hard training, and challenging themselves day after day. I believe that the goal of everyone's struggle is not money, or not just money, but also the glory in their hearts and the desire for the king. The money promised by Boss Tang is not tempting for us......"
"But Su Zhe ......," the cuckoo whispered.
Su Zhe waved his hand again to interrupt Du Juan's words, and continued: "And Sister Juan, e-sports is also competition, the basic principle of all competition is fair competition, as long as it is a competitive player, from the athletes who participated in the Olympic Games to win glory for the country, and the students who participated in the school games, I don't think they will betray their conscience and cheat, Sister Juan, I have learned a lot from you, but now, do you want to teach me to cheat and earn black money with a bad conscience?" β
"Su Zhe! You don't understand! β
Hearing this, the cuckoo's eyes turned red suddenly, and the pent-up pressure in her heart finally burst out, making her completely lose her temper.
"Su Zhe! My captain, I know you're principled, I know you're a man of integrity, but do you really think I'm asking for your consent on this matter? Do you really think I'm pleading with you about this? Do you think that you are the captain of the Pa team, and everything in the Pa team is at your command? Du Juan smiled bitterly and said, "Boss Tang has already given an order for this matter, and we can only carry it out...... Don't say it's you, even I don't have a choice! I built the PA team single-handedly, and you think I'm willing to make money at the expense of the PA team's conscience? After hearing Boss Tang's notice yesterday, I stayed up all night last night! But Boss Tang said that either do as he said, or the Pa team disbanded on the spot! We finally made it to the KPL, so we can't disband on the spot, right?! β
"Boss Tang...... He is...... So to speak? β
Hearing this, Su Zhe felt both shocked and angry.
Originally, he thought that Boss Tang was a righteous gentleman and a person who could achieve great things, but who knew that the businessman would show his original form in front of interests, and his Boss Tang's appearance was so ugly.
This is coercion, coercion!
If the Pa team still wants to play KPL, then everyone must do what Boss Tang wants!
At this time, Du Juan smiled helplessly: "So Su Zhe, you understand now, right?" We don't have a choice, and if I don't agree with Boss Tang's approach, then I've been fired now. And if you don't take his orders, Shan Shan will play in your place in the final tomorrow. β
