The mere fact that two people who have never met before can recognize each other at a glance in a foreign country shows that they have paid attention to each other at least more than once in the past years.

In the trajectories of their lives, the only point of intersection between them is Jiashi.

Based on the same starting point, what Jia Ying cared about was Tao Xuan who owned Excellent Era before she took over the club, and what Tao Xuan cared about was Jia Ying who became the owner of Excellent Era after taking over the club.

A line with Excellent Era as the time axis, one person extends to the past, and the other person goes to the future.

It started as an ordinary Internet cafe.

Ye Xiu, who left home, stayed here, and gathered a group of like-minded friends through a newly opened online game that quickly became popular all over the country.

They are all young people with no experience, no professionals, and even financial difficulties.

There are only skills and talents.

Tao Xuan is the owner of Excellent Era Internet Cafe. He saw the possibility of taking off from this group of young people. Coupled with the friendship and enthusiasm among friends, he helped them, and a team started from then on.

Unlike the current teams and clubs that are so easy, the sharply increased influence of the masses has made this nascent field hot, business opportunities have sprung up, and the great god-level professional players are all worth a lot.At that time, e-sports was still regarded as not doing business properly and was not accepted by the mainstream of society. There were many attempts, but only a handful of successful ones. Few people were willing to put their future and hopes on it, and were able to make such a decision It is very difficult.

"...I have always admired your courage back then, Mr. Tao."

After skipping the usual pleasantries, the topic inevitably started from Excellent Era.

Jia Ying leaned against the pillar beside the gate of the gymnasium, and the young girl said in a low voice.

It has been five years since Excellent Era changed hands, and the scale of the club's development is also very different from the past, whether it is the depth of vertical commercialization or the breadth of horizontal expansion in the e-sports circle.

Faced with today's status quo, obviously they have different feelings.

"What's the point here." Tao Xuan laughed, "Now that I think about it, when I formed the team, I was young and impulsive, and it was Ye Qiu who fought... No, it's Ye Xiu now? They carried the team up. If I am now facing the situation that year, I probably won't have Excellent Era."

More than ten years ago, Tao Xuan was still young. He was an ordinary Internet cafe owner, but he was not willing to just guard an Internet cafe and live on. shop.

Young people are ambitious, especially when they meet a group of people with dreams, they are particularly easy to be inspired.

Ye Qiu, Su Muqiu, Wu Xuefeng, and many others... Tao Xuan still clearly remembered their names.

It was these ten or so teenagers who gathered around the computer in his Internet cafe, discussing impassionedly about the upcoming establishment of the Glory Professional League, and the images of the past remained in his mind, vividly in his mind.

There is also the certificate issued by the league after winning the first championship, which also bears the names of most of them.Ye Xiu is the youngest and most powerful among them, so he has traveled the farthest, and is still active on the stage of Glory to this day.

While being uncontrollably touched by that memory, Tao Xuan also realized very clearly that the current self might only be so touched.

Youth will always pass, and a cavity of blood will slowly cool down.People are slowly growing and maturing, they will weigh gains and losses, and they will look at the future more utilitarianly.

Ten years ago, he needed to gamble almost all of his savings to start a professional e-sports team. The business of Internet cafes to provide training space for the team was seriously affected, and he even faced the embarrassment of finding a suitable investor even if he won the championship.

A dream is a dream after all.

When the possibility of success is less than his expectation, he will give up decisively.If the current overweight offered is higher than the sum of discounts he expects to receive in the future, he will choose the former without hesitation.

Taking such a big risk, but as the most important captain, Ye Xiu was unwilling to attend any commercial activities, even including the most basic appearance in front of the audience, so all rewards would be greatly reduced.

The so-called competition championship is only a nominal compliment, a glorious coat. After the joy and excitement at the beginning fade away, he still has to face the reality.

The club is getting bigger and bigger, the guild, the youth training camp, the technical department, the players, and all kinds of other things... In the fourth season, the stars of the golden generation shine. Will Ye Xiu have the ability to maintain Excellent Era's status as the king?Under the premise that the results of each team are almost the same, how many sponsors are willing to cooperate with Excellent Era whose captain will not show up?

It's not like Tao Xuan didn't see that the e-sports market environment is getting better and better, but the most difficult thing is that he can only watch the market getting bigger and bigger, but he can't cut a big piece of cake from it.

He would occasionally think this way, he had done his best to accommodate the team, why couldn't Ye Xiu think about it from his own point of view?

——You can just focus on victory and not ask for anything else, but I can't do it so purely.

Tao Xuan felt that their philosophies had diverged, and if none of them chose to give in, it would only get worse.

He didn't want to push his friend, and the contract he signed limited his right to do so.But he believes that as the owner of the club, he is benevolent enough, and there is no way to retreat.

At this time, someone came to the door and expressed his willingness to offer a suitable price for Excellent Era. He suddenly saw the way out of this dilemma.

go.

There is no need to let their friendship fade away in the endless struggles, nor to watch them drift away with different ideas. Before all the stories of helpless indifference and disagreement happened, he left alone.

In the future, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and what they will face in the future, that is their own business.

"The current Excellent Era is very good, really good." Tao Xuan seemed quite emotional, "Perhaps you think that I think so, if I hadn't left Excellent Era, all the achievements now belong to me? "

"I didn't think so." Jia Ying said in a cheerful tone, she looked confident and proud, "The current Excellent Era is my proudest work."

The implication is that she doesn't think he can do better than her.

Tao Xuan was slightly taken aback, and when he met the girl with bright eyes, he felt a little funny in his heart.

That's why it is said that e-sports is the world of young people.

At least one must have a sense of drive and vigor, like him is not suitable.

"Speaking of which, I really want to know how you persuaded that guy Ye Xiu. Why did that kid suddenly change his name?" Tao Xuan was obviously worried about this question.

What he actually wanted to ask was how she persuaded Ye Xiu to show up.Consider the avatar of the Sombra launched by the club a few years ago.It can be generally imagined that it should be a big project that is gradually promoted.

"This is Ye Xiu's personal privacy issue..." Jia Ying thought for a while, "It's related to his family."

"...So he's not an orphan?" Tao Xuan was obviously shocked.

"No." Jia Ying couldn't laugh or cry, and suddenly remembered that she had guessed like this before.

"I thought he was an orphan living in the street." Tao Xuan said.

From Ye Xiu's occasional behavior, it can be seen that he has a good family education, but he happens to be poor and keeps secret about his past.Tao Xuan also imagined that his reluctance to show up might be due to embarrassment or other reasons.

Jia Ying went back to find Ye Qiu, and Ye Xiu and the others had also finished the post-match press conference. The two brothers were together, one sitting and the other standing.

Seeing Ye Xiu, Jia Ying smiled and said, "Guess who I met just now?"

"Huh? Who?"

"Your ex-"

Ye Qiu straightened his back in an instant, and turned on the mode of concentrating.

"—Boss." Jia Ying said.

"Miss, can you talk without panting?" Ye Xiu was very helpless, and by the way, he glanced at Ye Qiu subtly. Did this guy want to watch a movie just now?

Ye Qiu pretended not to understand the meaning of Ye Xiu's eyes, turned his head and coughed twice.

"Tao Xuan..."

The old man's name flew out of memory easily, and he pronounced it in a tone mixed with nostalgia.Ye Xiu still remembers that time when there was no warning and no follow-up parting, it was as if the track of fate suddenly changed with a "click", and a person left the stage of life so abruptly.

Whether you are surprised or confused, it is meaningless to pursue the answer after a long time.Ye Xiu also felt that he was not kind to his old friend because of concealing his identity back then.He thought for a while and asked calmly, "Is he gone?"

"Let's go. After watching the game, after chatting for a few words, he said he was going to leave."

"It's easy to go." Ye Xiu sighed, but it seemed that he didn't regret missing his old friend.

Some things have to be like this.From being like-minded to drifting away, you walk your Yangguan road, and I walk my single-plank bridge.Each goes his own way, gathers and disperses according to fate, and it is not beautiful to force.
