Pandora's Box

Gu Yin was a little surprised, and also stood up: "Hey? Are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes……"

"Aren't you going to meet Zhuo Wenyang?" Gu Yin asked, "You two haven't seen each other for a long time, right? Just catch up."

I was even embarrassed: "No need."

Gu Yin took a look at my face and said cautiously: "What's wrong? Didn't you two have a good relationship back then?"

I laughed dryly: "That was that time."

Gu Yin immediately expressed his understanding, stopped asking, just nodded, and said with a sigh: "It's true... sometimes it's inconvenient for friends to meet face to face."

"By the way, don't mention me to Zhuo Wenyang."

"I understand that," Gu Yin asked, "but, are you not staying any longer? I thought you were here to see Zichao, and it's time for them to rest..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a figure "whoosh" shot over, like an agile cat.The cat was hanging on my arm, with a happy face: "You came to see me? Let's go to the cafeteria to eat together! The cafeteria here is delicious!"

Gu Yin looked at Zhao Zichao regretfully: "Lin has something urgent, so he has to leave first."

"Ah, is this..."

The jubilant joy on the young man's face collapsed in an instant, leaving the gloomy clouds visible to the naked eye.

But he was still obedient, and asked eagerly: "Then, when will you be free to visit me next time?"

"..."

I instantly felt heartbroken and felt like an irresponsible parent.How can you break the child's heart because of that little personal emotion?

In other words, I'm about five, six, seven or eight years older than Zhao Zichao, at the prime of my life.But in the face of a child like him who trusts me completely and has no relatives here, I can't help but feel both a father and a mother.

Thinking of this, I was a little puzzled again.To think that a few years ago I thought I would always be a child, and now I call other people children.

I couldn't help thinking, was this infected by Cheng Yichen?

I said, "Actually...it's not that urgent."

The base is quite big, and there are many people, so you can't just bump into it when you go in and out normally.What's more, knowing that Zhuo Wenyang was coming, it would be easier if he wanted to avoid it intentionally.

And why am I guilty, what am I afraid of?

The most difficult moments are over after all.It has been more than half a year now, and many emotions have faded.

Really meet by chance, that is to say, meet and smile, I think.

Zhao Zichao happily took me to the cafeteria to eat. The quality of the cafeteria is really quite good, the color and aroma are unambiguous, the variety of items is rich, and the nutrition is balanced. GLX is really a conscientious team.

I only secretly hope that after the acquisition is completed, Zhuo Wenyang can still maintain such a standard of food for them.

While eating the grilled ribs that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, I listened to Zhao Zichao happily describing to me what he had seen and heard during this period.However, I have been absent-minded all the time, and my mind is full of fantasies about what happens if I bump into Zhuo Wenyang.

Although he knew that he would not meet, he still couldn't help rehearsing ten thousand encounters with him in his mind.

After dinner, it was time for Zhao Zichao to continue training. I sent him back to the training room, and when I was walking around the corner, I suddenly heard Gu Yin talking to someone.

Shocked, I immediately took a step back and pulled Zhao Zichao to block him tightly.

Zhao Zichao: "???"

My cat was behind Zhao Zichao, and I heard someone say: "Your idea makes sense, let's discuss it later."

This voice made my heart tremble, and my whole soul trembled accordingly.

I saw Zhuo Wenyang through the gap between Zhao Zichao's arms.

He looked serious, frowning slightly, and looked serious.

He has lost weight.

But he was still handsome and tall, as if nothing could bend his back.

I took another deep breath.

I can't do it at all.

I think it's too easy to let go.I didn't even have the courage to stand up and meet him face to face.

I wasn't ready at all.

I could only hide in this corner, hastily looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar face over and over again.

They stood and chatted for a few words, then continued to go straight forward, passing by us, Gu Yin turned his head strangely and glanced at Zhao Zichao who seemed to be standing in a military posture: "Hey? Don't you go to training, Zichao?"

Zhao Zichao stood up straight and said loudly, "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Zhuo Wenyang also stopped and took a look here.

"..." Gu Yin said: "Mr. Zhuo, the training room is over here, you can take a look at the situation of this year's youth training camp..."

After they walked away, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and simply squatted on the ground.

Although Zhao Zichao was young, he was tall and powerful, and he was very useful as a human shield.

I said listlessly: "You go back to training. I guess you are the only one left."

Zhao Zichao squatted down next to me, with a nervous expression on his face: "Boss, do you owe that person money?"

"...Nothing like that, I never owe anyone money."

"Is that against him?"

"……nor."

Zhao Zichaoyi and Bo Yuntian said: "Then if he has a problem with you, I won't fight in GLX!"

I immediately waved my hand and called his head, "What are you thinking about, don't make fun of your own future. Hurry up and go to training to make a good impression on your future boss!"

I fled back to the hotel, threw myself on the bed, and covered my head with the blanket.Then, in the dark, he quietly recalled the short few minutes of meeting with Zhuo Wenyang, which was not considered a meeting.

His face, the corners of his eyebrows, the subconscious movement of his lips when he frowned slightly, and his indifferent glance.

If we were really face to face at that time, what would happen to Zhuo Wenyang?

Will you be as panicked as I am, or will you remain calm?

Naturally, I will always remember the sentence "I love you" he said to me.But I also remember that he once said that human emotions are fluid.

Hate turns into love and love disappears.

At the moment of farewell, the love he could still say has disappeared by now?

Although whatever the answer is, it doesn't really make much sense so far.But I still lose sleep over it.

The youth training will be over for a while, which means that I will have to stay in T City for a while, and it is inevitable that I will have some intersection with Zhuo Wenyang.

I was thinking hard in the hotel, suffering for a few days, and then I heard the news from Gu Yin, and went to the GLX team base secretly.

If you think that my sneakiness is to avoid Zhuo Wenyang, then you are very wrong, you underestimate me.

On the contrary, after those few days of deliberation, I decided to face the difficulties.

For Zhuo Wenyang, not only did I stop passively avoiding him, but on the contrary, I also specially picked the time when he appeared, and peeped at him in all directions.

That's right, I don't have the courage to face it head-on, but I can choose to peep.

Of course, this kind of voyeurism is well-known, it is a kind of desensitization training, and it is a manifestation of the courage to challenge yourself.

"Seeing" a few more indirect ways with old people who I can't face has a certain therapeutic effect on my extremely fragile and sensitive state of mind.

I believe my psychiatrist will praise me for this feat.

The end of the youth training camp is coming soon, and from a physical point of view, the time has passed faster than I expected.

After this period of self-"training", whether the mentality has improved or not is still open to question.

But my voyeuristic skills are indeed becoming more and more proficient, and I have reached a level where I can take into account my own concealment and optimize the perspective and duration of voyeur Zhuo Wenyang

In fact, every time Zhuo Wenyang came to the base, he looked the same.He is always so meticulous, dressed in a suit and shirt, clean and straight, neat and rigorous.He is also moody, always serious and expressionless.

But every time I observe, I can have new fun, which can be said to be often seen and always new.

Only I know how effective my training is, but Zhao Zichao's training results are obvious to all.

At the draft meeting of the youth training camp, Zhao Zichao lived up to expectations and won the championship.

This is of course exciting, but it is not surprising, after all, Guyin and I have been very optimistic about him from the beginning, and he has performed well throughout the training process.

And this small championship is only the starting point, his first step in the professional e-sports circle, and the next step is the long and rigorous journey of thousands of miles.

What I have to do is not only to be happy for Zhao Zichao, but also to negotiate a contract for him and arrange the follow-up.

GLX is relatively kind in the industry. Based on my own observations, the players did not make any ugly news when they terminated their contract with GLX and transferred. It can be seen that they are relatively straightforward in letting people go.But the capitalist's contract must be cannibalistic, so don't be careless.

I hired two professional lawyers to help me read the contract, in case there were any omissions, and boldly revised some clauses with the cheek.

When I showed Gu Yin the revised contract, I also felt that I was not kind.But to be honest, if I were to sign my own contract, it wouldn’t matter much; but to negotiate contracts for others, especially for a kid like Zhao Zichao who doesn’t understand anything, has no background, and his family can’t help him at all. When it comes to contracts, we must strive for what we can.

Sure enough, after Gu Yin saw it, he smiled wryly and said, "Here, Lin Jing, you make me very difficult."

I smiled hippie: "Really? I think it's quite reasonable."

Gu Yin is really good-tempered, and still smiled: "I have always wanted to cooperate with you, and I am also very optimistic about Zichao. But these terms, to be honest, we have never set such a precedent..."

I brazenly said: "There is a first time for everything."

Gu Yin seemed to be dumbfounded: "I can't make the decision, I have to ask our boss."

Although I acted confidently, I was actually a little bit drummed in my heart.I was also mentally prepared for their disagreement, leaving room for bargaining. Negotiating the terms of the contract is a dragging process. As long as they don't turn their backs and are willing to discuss, there will be fun.

During the time waiting for Gu Yin's reply, I lived a bit like a year. No matter how much I comforted myself, I was afraid that Zichao's future would be ruined because of my big mouth.

In fact, Gu Yin came to me the next day.

"Our boss agreed."

"Hey?!"

Does "yes" mean that there is no further haggling?

Gu Yin said with a smile: "It seems that Zichao is indeed a rare good seedling."

"..."
