Reemployment Guide for Laid-off Players

Jiang An cleaned up the kitchen, picked up his phone and saw that Xia Yao had texted him back 4 minutes ago—after he declined Xia Yao's invitation to organize a rehearsal just now, Xia Yao sent another message asking him why.

I have never found this person so "difficult" before.

Jiang An subconsciously scratched his hair, sat in front of the computer and typed with the mobile phone in his hand, typing, deleting, deleting, typing and typing again, and he couldn't go back after 5 minutes of tossing.

If the conversation between Lu Zhengqi and Tan Qi he heard at the base today is true, then what exactly is Xia Yao trying to do to get him back to play?

Xia Yao just asked him a few casual questions before, and didn't "must" him come back to play the game like Lu Zhengqi said. He had listened to it at the time and let it go, but now he thought about it and thought about it carefully. Fan.

Rejecting Xia Yao's team platoon invitation is just because he doesn't want to create any more topics. Today, TWR announced that he has officially joined, deliberately blurring the identity boundaries between coaches and players, and this does not affect the current work.

But Xia Yao's repeated actions cannot be ignored.

At the agreed time, Jiang An started the live broadcast on time. Once the broadcast started, there were hundreds of thousands of people. Looking at his own live broadcast room, which was at the top of the popularity list, he thought about finding a suitable reason to start the broadcast in advance.

He turned on the microphone again after a moment of silence, and calmly said, "Maybe we have to download the broadcast earlier today."

As soon as the words were finished, the bullet screen immediately boiled, and there were all kinds of questions.He looked at the various questions floating in front of him, and heaved a long sigh of relief. Before the breath could be firmly released, a familiar ID popped up on the game interface.

[Qing and Xia Xiashi want to make two moves with you, will the knight accept his challenge? 】

Although late, Xia Yao came again.

Jiang An looked at the flying star standing quietly in front of the game characters, and the three people he met in the wild yesterday flashed through his mind.

Looking at the operation yesterday, An Xinxin felt that if the main body was really a flying star, then maybe he could still face Xia Yao for a few minutes.

While he was thinking about it for a moment, the request on the other side failed again.

Every time Xia Yao clicked on him to compete, the first time it was always intentionally or unintentionally "attempted". This time, he didn't wait for Xia Yao to send another request to compete, he took the initiative for a time, selected Xia Yao and clicked to compete.

Xia Yao had just finished eating the takeaway, and saw that Jiang An ordered to refuse again, and he used to ask for a CD to pack the lunch box as usual, but before he was free, Jiang An's request for a discussion was sent, and he was somewhat surprised.

Seeing that the other party used the ID "Xin An", he first clicked a request to add a friend, and then clicked [Accept].

The exchange between Qing and Xia and Xin'an was really eye-catching. Xia Yao himself didn't start the live broadcast, and all the people who came after hearing the news went to the Jiang'an live broadcast room. Don't even think about him, he knows how lively Jiang'an is now.

Then the corner of his lips curled into a smile, watching the countdown on the screen change to "0", stepping forward was a familiar control technique, and the sparring began.

In order to do a good job in MMORPG e-sports, the first thing Tayue should do is to balance the professions. There is no absolute suppression, and there are no coincidences of various "face-to-face". Unflattering.Meteor's super control ability meets Yunyin's mobility, and the damage of Yunyin's explosion is against the high-frequency damage reduction of the upper Meteor. In fact, no one is easy to fight.

Just like the official solo match, in this BO3 match, Xia Yao was beaten 1:2 by Jiang An, which was the first loss since the last few sparring sessions.

Although it was a loss, it was the time when he was in the best mood. He always felt that this time Jiang An really put his heart into it, not as "perfunctory" as the previous few times.

As soon as he got off the game, Li Zhenhe called on time. This call was also expected. Presumably the discussion just now was too sensational, which directly alarmed Li Zhenhe.

"What's the matter?" He picked up the phone, went downstairs with the takeaway box in his hand and threw it into the trash can, and then returned upstairs under the watchful eyes of a group of youth trainees.

Li Zhenhe advised him to rest if he wanted to rest, and not to go to Jiang An's house all day to make trouble. He took a trip to the sofa with his mobile phone, and said lazily: "You have said these words before, and what else is there?" Is it?"

"Shen Yanleng's second team will start training tomorrow, we haven't settled down yet, are you not in a hurry?"

"I'm in charge of the competition, not the selection." Xia Yao sneered, looked at the time and closed his eyes again.

"What bullshit are you talking about!"

Li Zhenhe sounded a little annoyed. Hearing the louder and louder voice on the receiver, Xia Yao took the phone farther away, and his tone became more and more lazy. He replied, "I haven't solved my own problems yet. Let me help you with what?"

"...Xia Yao, why don't you go and have a relationship."

After holding back for a long time, when Li Zhenhe spoke again, Xia Yao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the light on the ceiling. He also remained silent for a long time before saying:

"Li Zhenhe, are you sick?"

The "sick" Li Zhenhe suddenly smiled and said: "You have no worries about food and clothing, and you don't have any opponents in the competition. You gradually feel that doing nothing is interesting. Do you think I am right? Why don't you just prescribe the right medicine and do something stimulating?" thing--"

Xia Yao was at a loss for words. Hearing Li Zhenhe's crazy talk, he simply hung up the phone.

Later, he fell asleep on the sofa, and was awakened by the vibration of the mobile phone. When he opened his eyes, he was still a little confused. He forgot that he was sleeping on the sofa, and he waved his arms to the side and fell into the air, which shocked him to wake up instantly.

Too many calls tonight.

He didn't speak when he picked up Lu Zhengqi's phone call. He heard Lu Zhengqi's cautious and probing tone. He refused to get to the point after a long time. He finally lost his patience and said coldly, "Speak."

"I thought you couldn't hear me!" Lu Zhengqi breathed out, then resumed his previous tentative tone, and said, "Jiang An is here to report today."

"...I know, Tan Qi said it."

"You—don't you wonder what he did on the first day he came to Shen Yanleng?"

Xia Yao wanted to hang up again, but as soon as he said "I'm hanging up", he heard Lu Zhengqi calling him urgently: "Xia Yao, Xia Yao! ——Brother! Don't hang up! I have a big gossip, do you listen! About Jiang An!"

"What?" Xia Yao moved his thumb away from the red button, frowned and put the receiver to his ear again, saying, "Gossip about Jiang An?"

"That's right! Gossip! Do you want to hear it?" Lu Zhengqi stopped probing and sounded happy and proud.

"..."

"Why, are you listening or not!"

"You say." For the sake of my teammates for many years, I will not kill anyone.Xia Yao thought to himself.

Lu Zhengqi knew that Xia Yao's usual poker face was mostly faked, and he also knew that he was really impatient, so he accepted it when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Do you know that Chen Gu and Jiang An have known each other for a long time? ?”

"That's what you're talking about?"

Lu Zhengqi was taken aback for a moment, and then asked him, "You know?"

"...I guess I know it." Xia Yao thought about it and thought it over.

After all, Jiang An, the "King of Amnesia", even if he stood in front of him tomorrow and told him that he was his alumni, he probably wouldn't remember it.

After carefully thinking about the probability of telling Lu Zhengqi now that Jiang An will know tomorrow, Xia Yao perfunctorily hung up on him.Although Lu Zhengqi provided a useless piece of information, he reminded him sideways. He held the phone for a while and sent Chen Gu a message.

Shen Yanleng's training camp officially started, and Jiang An's daily life became more regular. During the training camp, his live broadcast started at [-]:[-] p.m., and more and more people in the live broadcast room also gave more and more rewards.

However, no matter how many rewards there are, An Xinxin still ranks at the top of the reward list. It is not that Jiang An has never doubted this person's true identity, but it is always difficult to ask directly.

Later, he played 2V2 with her from time to time, or called Shang Jiang Le to play 3V3.Occasionally, Jiang An would not let Jiang Le play for too long, and An Xinxin would call a sharp-handed friend to continue fighting with them. Jiang An's live broadcast room knew about this fixed treatment called An Xinxin, and Jiang An himself became more and more intimate with her. more familiar.

Just half a month has passed, and the Shanhai Cup will start in less than a week. The training of the second team has also been quite effective, and things seem to be going in a smoother direction.

But problems often arise when things are going well.

On this day, Jiang An and Chen Gu organized a match between the second team and the first team, and they were in the second game when Jiang An suddenly received a message from the school that Jiang Le had contacted earlier, saying that there was no way to join the class when the school started in the second half of the year. .He immediately took a leave of absence and rushed to school from the base.

Seeing the director of the admissions office, Jiang Anhan didn't bother to brush and asked him directly: "Director, your information didn't make it clear why you couldn't join the class. This—"

"Mr. Jiang, please don't worry, it is indeed the reason of the school...but I can't tell you the specific reason," the admissions director pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, wondering: "We also Knowing Jiang Le's special situation, of course we really want such outstanding students, but now the school has a problem, and all the transfer students this year can't get in, you see."

After speaking, the director of admissions pushed the thick stack of materials in front of Jiang An, and said: "These are the materials of transfer students. I am really sorry to have to return them one by one."

"It's hard to say why, but there must be a reasonable explanation!" Jiang An glanced left and right. The other teachers were busy with their own affairs and couldn't take care of them. The admissions director took out a tissue and handed it to him. He, he took it and whispered thank you.

The director of admissions thought for a moment and said: "I really can't say what it is. The group sent the exact news today and I will contact you immediately. There is still a month before I leave school, and I can go to another school to try." try......"

Jiang An looked down at Jiang Le's file opened on the table. The transcript of all A's was indeed very beautiful. As the admissions director said, how could such an excellent student be wanted or not?

He was very angry when he first received the information, but he calmed down a bit on the way here, and now the admissions director's rhetoric might convince him, but at least he wasn't so angry anymore.

"You mean there's no hope at all?" he asked again.

The director of admissions immediately said sincerely: "I didn't say that, if there is no such unexpected situation, even if you give me money to let Jiang Le out, I won't do it! ——Jiang Le is a good seedling, with all A's in the entrance exam He's really the only one in these years, and I want him to wait until next summer, but he can't delay going to school anymore." As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly remember, turned back to the drawer, took a business card and handed it to Jiang An , and then said: "I am quite familiar with the admissions teacher of this school. If there is a need, I will call him. With our school's entrance examination transcript, he will definitely be able to enter directly."

Jiang An took the business card: "Thank you teacher, is this also a private high school?"

"Yes, but this school... has higher tuition fees."

"How many?"

Coming out of school, Jiang An took Jiang Le's file and stood under the sun for a while, the sweat on his forehead dripped onto his eyelids, he blinked and sighed, and stepped heavily on the bus.

Back at the base, the match between the first team and the second team has already been played. Chen Gu is leading the players of the two teams to do a review. Jiang An apologized to everyone and then sat down. Tan Qi asked him in a low voice: "Are you okay?"

Jiang An smiled: "It's okay."

At the end of the replay, everyone went back to the training room one after another. Chen Gu pushed the gossip-faced Lu Zhengqi out, closed the door and sat down beside Jiang An, and asked him with concern, "What happened?"

"Oh, nothing, just a little thing."

Chen Gu immediately laughed and said, "It's okay for you to coax Tan Qi just now, we have known each other for so many years, and you still want to lie to me?"

Jiang An smiled helplessly, shook his head and sighed: "I can't hide it from you, but it's actually my brother's schooling. The previous school suddenly said that he can't join the class."

"Then ask other schools?"

"On the way back, I already asked about other schools. Except for the one with [-] a year, the better ones don't enroll students——[-] a year is really too expensive."

Chen Gu thought for a while and said: "One hundred thousand a year is indeed a bit expensive, and this time is a bit rushed."

"I don't want him to wait another year. He has good grades, but it won't work if he delays any longer."

"How far are you short?" Chen Gu took out his mobile phone as he spoke, and said, "I just paid the down payment for the house a few days ago, and I only have [-] in cash left in my hand."

Jiang An stopped him and said anxiously, "No need!"

Chen Gu glanced at him immediately, and he said, "No, I don't mean anything else, besides the tuition fee, there is also [-] board and lodging, and it's not enough for you to lend me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Gu clapped his hands suddenly, exited the bank app and opened WeChat, pushed the phone in front of him, and said, "If you really don't even want to borrow my money, you will definitely not be willing to borrow someone else's.

"You can't catch up with the Shanhai Cup, but according to inside information, the autumn competition in October has basically been set. This competition has the highest prize pool in the whole year except for the league finals. The champion is 88."

Jiang An looked at the "88" in a daze, and the cheers on the field sounded in his ears. Of course, there was also a straightforward question from the reporter about "fighting fake matches" when he left the field at the end of the game.

Although he promised Jiang Le to return to the arena, he himself knew better than anyone that it was not easy to return to the arena.

Others take it for granted that a "star" player like him wants to return to the arena. It is just a question of whether he is willing or not. In the past two years, the question he has heard most is "When will you go back to play?", "Why don't you go back to play?" No one asked him how to go back to play.

This is obviously the most important and core issue.

Seeing his silence, Chen Gu asked tentatively, "How?"

"Chen Gu, I—"

"Jiang An," Chen Gu saw his hesitant expression, and immediately interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Although you are now at the closest place to the arena, since you disappeared from that match more than a year ago, I don't I have never seen Jiang An in the game before. He is determined and decisive, and he will not be vacillating like you. You have signed with TWR. I don’t believe that you really came to be a coach. Now is the best time for you to return to the game. Opportunity, what are you still hesitating about?"

Chen Gu's words were so moving, Jiang An glanced at him, hesitant to speak, as if a lot of words were stuffed in his mouth, and when he came out, there was only a sigh.

He didn't know what he was still hesitating about.

Chen Guyuan was very patient, and he didn't intend to give him time to think about it right now, so he pulled him up from the chair and dragged him out the door.

"Where to go?"

"An old friend invited me to dinner at night and asked if you were going, but you just went out and I forgot to ask you. It's already dinner time, so let's go have a meal and drink some bars together, you think about it slowly."

"Bring you to dinner? Ask me if I'm going?" Jiang An was puzzled, but suddenly had a certain premonition in his heart. He frowned, touched his upper and lower lips and said hesitantly: "Who? not--"

Chen Gu opened the door, turned around to look at him, chuckled lightly, and said, "Xia Yao."
