Chapter 179 Excellent Era Sells Su Mu Orange! ! ! (6k large chapter)

on the big screen,

"So far, the regular season of this season's Glory Professional League has come to an end with everyone, and the next stage is the final stage of the knockout round!"

"Here I would like to introduce the eight teams that have advanced to the playoffs. The rankings from top to bottom are: Hundred Blossoms, Samsara, Blue Rain, Tyranny, Misty Rain, Tiny Herb, Void, Royal Wind!"

"Who will win the championship trophy? Which team will have the last laugh? Look down on the heroes?"

"Of course, I have to mention two other teams here, Jiashi and Mingqing."

"In the Glory Professional League next season, these two teams will not be seen. If you want to return to the league, you can only pass the Challenger League. I hope that both teams can perform well in the Challenger League. This awaits their return to the professional league!"

"Okay, today's commentary is over, I'm Li Yibo, thank you for listening, let's see you in the playoffs!!"

Hundred Flowers Club,
"Excellent Era is downgraded." Zhang Jiale looked at the points ranking with a little surprise, "It seems that the original Excellent Era no longer exists."

Hearing this, Yi Tianming laughed and said, "As early as the moment when the donkey was killed, Excellent Era should have expected such a result."

"Well, well, let's get ready, we'll meet in the conference room in half an hour." Zhang Jiale patted Yi Tianming on the shoulder, and left first.
He has been very busy recently. The playoffs are coming soon, and tactical deployment and personnel arrangements need to be taken care of.

And Hundred Blossoms' opponents for the first round of the playoffs have also been determined, the veteran team—

royal style.

At the same time, the prize money for the first place in Hundred Blossoms in the regular season is 160W, and the club is also very generous, giving 100W to the players as dividends, and the remaining 60W is used for the maintenance of the competition facilities and the purchase of rare resources.

Of course, compared to the regular season bonus of 160W, the championship bonus of 1000 million is more attractive.

And Hundred Blossoms ranked No. [-] in the regular season, which can be regarded as a good way for the playoffs.
In the first round of the playoffs, against the bottom-ranked Huangfeng, as long as the players don't convulse collectively, there will be no suspense in winning the game.
After the first round, they will advance to the semi-finals and be one step closer to the championship.

Baihua is stable here.

Analyze the other teams in the playoffs,
Samsara's opponent is Void, and there should be no suspense in this group. According to the strong performance of this season, it is no problem to step on Void to reach the top four.

As for Tyranny vs. Misty Rain... this group is not easy to talk about. Although Tyranny is an old-fashioned giant, his recent state is not very good.
Veteran Han Wenqing lacks physical strength. Under normal circumstances, he is the general guard of the ring. Once he encounters a strong opponent in the group arena and consumes too much energy, Lao Han may not be able to support the team competition and will appear weak. ,

This was something that Tyranny needed to solve, and it was undoubtedly a troublesome problem for Zhang Xinjie.

So for Misty Rain, if he can seize this breakthrough, it is not impossible to overthrow Tyranny.

Of course, there is not much difference in strength between Misty Rain and Tyranny on paper. It is hard to say which of the two teams will advance to the top four. We will not know until the competition really starts.

As for the last group: Blue Rain beats Tiny Herb...

This group is old enemies. The scene of Huang Shaotian using trash talk to destroy the mentality of Tiny Herb's team in the sixth season finals is still vivid in my memory. It is also because of this that Blue Rain won the championship trophy that year.

At the same time, Tiny Herb's dream of consecutive championships was shattered,
The two teams also formed a bridge.
Tiny Herb has always held a grudge against this, and now that the two teams have met in the semi-finals, it will be a good fight,
Fight to the death!

Of course, Blue Rain didn't give in. There were three All-Star players, both on paper and in reality.
In comparison, Tiny Herb's strength on paper is not bad at all. There is the magician Wang Jiexi, the number one knight of glory Deng Fusheng, the young genius Qiu Fei, and Wang Jiexi's appointed successor Gao Yingjie.
But this is only on the surface. In fact, this formation is not perfect.
Because this lineup has only been established for less than a season, and Qiu Fei is Tiny Herb who only came in the middle of the season.

So, Tiny Herb's lineup still needs to be adjusted. Although Wang Jiexi and Deng Fusheng have enough experience, the performance of this lineup in the regular season is still acceptable.

But the playoffs are different from the regular season after all. In the playoffs, everyone is desperate, and the bayonet is red!
In the regular season, the opponent may still have a few cards, but this is different in the playoffs. The opponent will no longer hide anything. If it comes up, it will be a straight bomb.

It’s okay if you can catch it, but if you can’t catch it, you will only face one result:
lose.

After losing the playoffs, they can only go home and fight again next year.

However, any team that has advanced to the playoffs, who would not want to win the championship trophy?
You said that Huang Feng entered the playoffs under the pressure of the line. Could it be that he is willing to play in one round and has no idea about the championship trophy?You said he just wants to look at other teams and clink glasses to celebrate?

This is obviously impossible,

Huangfeng also wanted to win the cup and the championship.Not just Royal Style, any team in the league wants to win the championship,

This kind of idea supports the team and players to charge towards the championship trophy,
But in this process, there are winners and there are always losers.

The winner, hold your head high, move on, and reach the semi-finals, semi-finals, and finals!Finally won the Glory Professional League Championship!
And the losers...Unfortunately, they will become the stepping stones on the way for others to win the championship,

The so-called, one will succeed and ten thousand bones will dry up.

Any championship in the history of Glory, Excellent Era, Tyranny, Tiny Herb, Blue Rain, Hundred Blossoms...

Has there ever been a time when you didn't defeat your opponents one by one, stepping on others to get to the top?

It's cruel, but that's the glory,

This is exactly the charm of glory.

……

Looking around,
City H,
Excellent Era Club,
It's already May, whether it's hot or not, the wind is smooth.

There are many pedestrians on the road in City H. This kind of sunny weather makes people feel happy. It is also a good choice to invite a few friends to go out for an outing.

However, some people are not in the mood to calm down,
such as,

Tao Xuan, Cui Li.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and Tao Xuan has changed from that middle-aged man with a successful career into a sloppy uncle.

The beard is unshaven, the eyes are empty, and the gray hair is protruding a lot,

And the reason why Tao Xuan became like this,

It was because Excellent Era had already existed in name only.

That's right, that Excellent Era who won the Triple Crown in the early days of Glory is already staggering and lingering,
95% of the investors withdrew their capital, which directly broke Excellent Era's capital chain, and the evaporation of shares caused its economic system to collapse.
Liu Hao, Zhang Jiaxing and other main players terminated their contracts and switched jobs, which made things worse.
Not to mention that other teams took advantage of the fire and poached more than half of the personnel in the technical department and management department.

The outside world and Excellent Era fans have been putting pressure on the club to come forward and give a reasonable explanation. The major news media are also blocking the downstairs of the Excellent Era club all day long, wanting to ask what happened.
However, Excellent Era acted very quickly. As soon as they were downgraded, they announced that they had entered a state of silence, refusing all news interviews and attending events.

But if you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, Tao Xuan understands this truth very well.

In fact, having said that, if it's just a problem with the collapse of funds and loss of personnel, Tao Xuan still has the confidence to support Excellent Era.

After all, since he started managing the team in business, his management ability is still very strong, and he still has a certain amount of savings in his pocket after all these years, which can barely help Excellent Era solve the current economic crisis.

Once the economic crisis is resolved,

After that, it is nothing more than pulling people, recruiting new troops, breaking through the siege in the Challenger League, and returning to the professional league.
Returning to the professional league means that the previous advertisers will come back again,

After such a process, Excellent Era's situation will not only return to the peak, but at least improve. After a few more years of operation, Tao Xuan is confident that Excellent Era can bring Excellent Era back to its previous heights!
but……

Today's Tao Xuan doesn't have that spirit anymore.
The last straw that broke the camel's back was Sun Xiang's departure.

To be precise, Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf left together,

More precisely, it was Samsara who smashed the liquidated damages and forcibly poached Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf,
A total of 3000W, reincarnation generous!

2000W is the transfer fee for Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf, 1000W is liquidated damages,

Having said that, reincarnation can be regarded as taking advantage of the fire,
Excellent Era had just been relegated, and the bid prices of its star players and characters in the transfer market had also dropped a lot, and the alliance stipulated that the transfer transaction price must be within the reasonable range of the transfer market.
Therefore, it is most affordable to throw money at this time.And Excellent Era only raised the price to 2000W, any higher price would not be allowed by the alliance.

But in fact, the liquidated damages were only to cut off the connection between Sun Xiang and Excellent Era. If he really wanted to take Sun Xiang away, he had to agree to it.
And Tao Xuan's white hair showed everything,
Sun Xiang took the olive branch thrown away by Samsara,

This was also the real reason why Tao Xuan lost all energy. When Sun Xiang left, he simply packaged and sold One Autumn Leaf, the soul of Excellent Era, to Samsara.

Tao Xuan knew that it was in his hands that Excellent Era could not be saved, so packing together was considered a favor of reincarnation.

"It's over." Tao Xuan shook his head slightly, as if he had aged more than ten years overnight.
He stood up, came to the mirror, and tidied up the face that hadn't been taken care of for a long time,
Shaved, styled, put on a suit again, and barely looked refreshed,
"Boss, you..." Cui Li asked tentatively,
Now that Excellent Era wandered away, he still stayed by Tao Xuan's side, which could be regarded as a kind of loyalty, but this loyalty was used in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

"You also tidy up, and then go to a place with me." Tao Xuan's voice was a little low, the original scenery was gone, only melancholy and helplessness remained,

"Ah."

……

10 minutes later,
Two special guests came to Xingxin Network Club.

"Hi, I'm looking for Ye Qiu, please tell me."

"Hmm..." The girl at the front desk saw that there were two people in suits, and she exuded a faint sense of oppression all over her body. She immediately understood that these two people were not simple,
I hurried all the way to the stairs on the second floor and shouted, "Miss Boss, Madam Boss!"

"Xiao Liu, why are you making such a fuss? Didn't you say you can't shout loudly on the second floor?" Chen Guo frowned slightly, a little angry,

This is the rule she set, because the second floor is no longer used to operate the Internet cafe, but has been vacated as a base for the team. A series of matters such as player training are usually carried out on the second floor, so it is necessary to keep quiet.

"I'm sorry, lady boss." Xiao Liu at the front desk scratched his head, "I forgot when I was nervous just now, and I thought this second floor was the old Internet cafe..."

"Ham, forget it, pay attention next time." Chen Guo didn't get so angry, and quickly disappeared, turning around and asking, "By the way, what did you just say?"

"There are two people downstairs looking for Brother Ye." Xiao Liu explained.

"Looking for Ye Xiu?" Chen Guo turned her head to look at Ye Xiu's main body, who was still concentrating on operating, and thought it best not to bother him yet.
Just thinking about it, the two of them had automatically come to the door,

"Excuse me, is Ye Qiu here?"

The deep voice came, and it still sounded a little tasteful, Chen Guo even felt that this person could even consider becoming a voice actor.

"You are?" Chen Guo turned her gaze to the two people who were walking towards her. After searching in her mind, she found that she didn't have any memories.

Seeing the two getting closer, Chen Guo hurriedly lay in the middle of the road. The second floor was an important base for their team, so these two strangers could not be allowed to go up casually.

The leader was not angry, and asked again, "Is Ye Qiu here?"

Although Chen Guo didn't know the person in front of her, judging from his clothes and the faint oppressive feeling, she concluded that this person was not simple.

She asked coldly, "Who the hell are you?"

The scene became tense in an instant, one side wanted to go up, the other side refused to let go up,

Xiao Liu at the front desk was nervous and didn't dare to move, hiding behind Chen Guo,
Just when the two sides were at a stalemate and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, a familiar voice came from behind,
"Tao Xuan, Cui Li."

Chen Guo turned her head, the voice came from Ye Qiu, more precisely, it should be Ye Xiu.

"Who the hell are these two?" Chen Guo asked in a low voice next to Ye Xiu's ear.

"The boss and manager of Excellent Era."

"Ah!" The expression on Chen Guo's face changed instantly, becoming vigilant, "What is he doing here?"

"I don't know, just ask." Ye Xiu turned his head and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Tao Xuan glanced at the surrounding environment, and it was a little noisy: "Let's talk about it in another place?"

Chen Guo was still hesitating, but Ye Xiu directly said, "Okay."

"A visitor is a guest, trust me."

After finishing speaking, he gave Chen Guo a "believe me" look, then led Tao Xuan and Cui Li up to the cubicle on the second floor,
To say that the cubicles are a bit exaggerated, but in fact, it was the grocery store that Ye Xiu lived in when he first came to Xingxin as a network administrator.

It is really interesting to receive such a special "guest" in such a place.

"Sit down." Ye Xiu sat on the bed and motioned Tao Xuan to sit down.

As for Cui Li's subordinates, they stood at the door with Chen Guo very tactfully.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

"It's a bit shabby here." Tao Xuan had a slight disgust on his face, "Don't tell me, you live here."

"Otherwise?" Ye Xiu nodded nonchalantly.

Tao Xuan was silent,

For 1 minute, the two were silent.

The air became extremely quiet, and the atmosphere became strange.

In the end it was Ye Xiu who broke the silence,
"You didn't come to me just to ask about the accommodation, did you?" He looked at Tao Xuan with contempt.

Tao Xuan shook his head. When it came to this point, he didn't hide it. "The club is short of funds. I sold One Autumn Leaf to Samsara. However, Mu Yuchengfeng will be left to you."

Mu Yuchengfeng, created by the genius Su Muqiu, was originally a character he used to enter the professional league. Unfortunately, an accident happened, and he was succeeded by his younger sister Su Mucheng and brought into the professional league.

"What about Mucheng?" Ye Xiu continued to ask, he didn't rush to sign Muyuchengfeng, because there were more important things than that.
"Where is Mucheng's next step?"

The contract between Su Mucheng and Excellent Era was supposed to expire in the summer of next season, but now that Excellent Era has gone bankrupt and is about to be disbanded, if Su Mucheng doesn't transfer from Excellent Era, she won't even win the Challenger League, let alone professional competitions. beat!

In that case, it would really be a waste of a year...

When Tao Xuan heard this, the expression on his face was slightly surprised, "Didn't you reorganize the team and plan to sign her?"

Ye Xiu rolled his eyes, "Could it be that you want to let her waste a year in the Challenger League with me?"

Only now did Tao Xuan understand what Ye Xiu meant.
Su Mucheng, who was born in the golden generation, is at the peak of her career at this time. If she spends this precious year in the Challenger League, her reputation and economic level will decline...!
"I see." Tao Xuan stood up, glanced at his watch, and continued, "I will try my best to help Mucheng find a next home, and when you return to the alliance, she will be free again."

"Thanks." Ye Xiu also stood up, "What are you going to do next?"

Having said that, this conversation was the most peaceful between Ye Xiu and Tao Xuan in the past few years.

The two are like old friends, chatting about daily life and the future, not related to business or scheming, treating each other honestly, as if returning to the time when they first met.

"Let's go for a walk, but we have to deal with the club's affairs first. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit that Excellent Era has fallen, and it's in my hands." Tao Xuan shook his head with a wry smile.

"No, Excellent Era didn't fall." Ye Xiu's expression became serious, "Excellent Era is a kind of belief, and he is in everyone's heart. Right now, Excellent Era may not be able to survive, but in the future or many years later, There will be the same group of boys with faith, like us back then, starting from zero..."

"Back to the top."

Ye Xiu said these words calmly, but the listener Tao Xuan's heart was incomparably surging.

At this moment, Tao Xuan finally recalled the time when he and Ye Xiu and the others were at the beginning,
At that time, Jiashi was still a small Internet cafe, and his relationship with Ye Xiu was like that of brothers, and he took care of Xiao Mucheng like a daughter.

Back then Ye Xiu still called him Brother Tao,

At that time, Excellent Era was not invaded by commercialization, and Tao Xuan was not blinded by money at that time.
That was nine years ago,
Everything was so beautiful back then.

However, no matter how beautiful it is, it is only the past tense after all.

People still have to look forward.

"I understand." Tao Xuan nodded solemnly, completely saying goodbye to the self who was blinded by money.
He approached and trimmed Ye's collar, just like nine years ago, when the elder brother helped the younger brother tidy up the clothes,
Ye Xiu didn't stop him, and let him clean his collar.

Tao Xuan's tone became familiar to Ye Xiu, "Guan Rongfei wants to reincarnate, but I didn't agree. He will come here to report tomorrow. As for whether you can keep him, it's up to you."

Guan Rongfei is a rare talent in Excellent Era's technical department.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, the past that needs to be recounted has also been recounted, and Tao Xuan is also preparing to leave.
Ye Xiu sent him downstairs and exchanged glances with Cui Li halfway. Cui Li felt a little embarrassed. After all, he treated Ye Xiu like that.

But Lao Ye doesn't care anymore, after all, that was what Tao Xuan meant at the beginning, and he has already let go of it.

In this way, Cui Li couldn't laugh or cry all the way until he sat in the driver's seat,

Tao Xuan and Cui Li came here by car. Next, they have to go to the legal department to deal with matters related to the club's bankruptcy. They have been busy these two days.

"Okay, let's send it here." Tao Xuan got into the car, and when Cui Li stepped on the accelerator, the car made a buzzing sound.
Ye Xiu and Chen Guo also turned around to go back.

"Wait." Tao Xuan stopped Ye Xiu.

Tao Xuan took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to him,

"Even if it's my compensation to you, the money is not much, and the password is the day we met."

The corner of Ye Xiu's mouth curled slightly, "What if I don't remember the password?"

"You will remember." Tao Xuan smiled and shook his head, then signaled Cui Li to drive, he was going to the legal department.

beep...

Seeing the car drifting away, Ye Xiu said with emotion,
"It's so fast, nine years have passed in a flash."

Back in Xingxin's training room, before putting on the earphones, Ye Xiu threw the bank card to Chen Guo, "Do me a favor, lady boss, check how much money is in it."

"What is the password?"

"********"

"Total is..." Chen Guo ran to the front desk to find a card reader, "100W!"

Although she was able to take out so much money, Chen Guo couldn't help opening her mouth when she saw six zeros.

She didn't expect Tao Xuan to be so generous, he gave 100W in one go.

"Oh, let me keep it for you." Ye Xiu's gaze was always on the computer screen, "I will find you when I need it."

"Oh, good." Chen Guo put it away carefully.

Ye Xiu continued training, and after a while Su Mucheng came over,
Now that Excellent Era is closed, she hasn't found a home yet and has nowhere to go, so she can only come to Xingxin to stay overnight.

Of course, Chen Guo welcomed this move with both hands.

But today's Mucheng didn't seem very happy, she looked very preoccupied, seeing what Ye Xiu said, "Brother Tao..."

Ye Xiu knew what she was worried about, and comforted her, "Don't worry, it will be fine."

Based on Tao Xuan's business methods, plus the 3000W obtained from the sale of Sun Xiang and One Autumn Leaf, it should be no problem to clean up the current mess of Excellent Era.

Su Mucheng sighed slightly, and took out an account card, "He gave me Mu Yuchengfeng's account card."

"Oh?" Ye Xiu caught the word "give" in the words, and then calmly said, "That's good, it saves a lot of money."

"By the way, where do you plan to transition next season?" Ye Xiu asked.

Su Mucheng shook her head, "Not yet, but Brother Tao said he will help me find a good next home."

"Ah."

……

It didn't take long for the major clubs to know that Excellent Era had sold Su Mucheng.

Misty Rain was the first to approach the door, but Tao Xuan resolutely refused,

Soon, the second family also came up...

　If they are separated, it will be regarded as 3 changes, just for the purpose of drawing a joint chapter.
