Top Of Glory[Esports] Chapter 15
bySign a contract
“MVP of the winning team in three games!”
“What level is this?”
He Chen heard Qiao Zhi’s voice before he entered the door, and looked back at Lin An.
“It’s okay, don’t pay attention to him.” Lin An pushed past him and opened the door.
Qiao Zhi and the others are watching the replay of the elite game on a projector.
Compared with the live broadcast, the replay re-edited and added some clips.
So as soon as He Chen entered the door, he faced the high-definition picture of his frontal view on the screen, accompanied by those words——
Just as Fade said this, he dubbed him, “That means you don’t know how to play -”
After he finished speaking, he howled with excitement, “You’re so handsome, so handsome!”
He Chen: “…”
If he knew that these words would be discovered by the director and cut into the playback to torture him repeatedly, he would definitely keep his mouth shut.
Hechen silently took out the mask and hat from his bag and put them on again.
Qiao Zhi’s cell phone kept ringing, and he happily scrolled through the news, “The official also forwarded He Chen’s video. What does this mean?! It means that even the official recognized He Chen’s statement, so what if the online rate is low! It’s not that Thief is not strong enough! It’s that you don’t know how to play!”
Lao Tao covered his ears and sat a little further away, “Basic is Bagua. Come back and train me when the time comes.”
The topic finally changed, and before He Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Lao Tao say again: “Look at He Chen, he is a newbie. He has only been training for a long time. Do you understand his tactics today? You don’t know how to rush. You just know how to have fun one by one.”
Qiao Zhi was really happy, “How can I describe how I feel now? Taking over Lin An was nothing more than this!”
He Chen really couldn’t adapt to such a scene, especially after three games where he was highly focused. He felt stiff and stood there helplessly.
Lin An pressed He Chen’s shoulders and led him to sit down on the sofa, “You can eat something by yourself. I will come find you later.”
His fingers squeezed Hechen’s shoulder a little harder. Hechen raised his head and looked at him intently with dark eyes under the brim of his hat.
Joe was still checking social media on his way upstairs.
“Xiaohe’s performance in this competition was surprisingly good, and our team fans specially edited his parts, and now his exposure is still increasing.”
“Coupled with the official forwarding of He Chen’s highlight moment, it is absolutely inevitable that he will be officially announced now.”
Qiao Zhi lamented: “In this face-based world, if a player is smart, skilled, and good-looking, he will definitely win.”
“Look at this face,” Qiao Zhi couldn’t stop talking. He pushed the phone in front of Lin An’s eyes. On it was a frontal photo of He Chen wearing headphones and focusing on the game. The high bridge of his nose and the delicate undulating outline of the side were clearly visible. “With this small appearance and small temperament, he is the seed of a big fire.”
Lin An saw that he seemed to have forgotten that he and Chi Rui were on the hot search. He glanced at the screen and pushed his phone away, “I have a real person to read it, why do I need to read this kind of naughty material.”
“You know shit,” Qiao Zhi cherished his cell phone, “What a good boy. His photos out of the circle have pushed down the hot searches of his careless captain and former teammates.”
Lin An laughed.
“Why, aren’t you convinced?” Qiao Zhi looked over sideways.
“No, I didn’t expect you to be waiting for me here.” Lin An hadn’t rested since he’d been up early and was a little sleepy. “I’m too lazy to lay the groundwork and just get down to business.”
“Even if the headquarters was previously worried about the risks of signing Hechen, after the elite competition, seeing the popularity he brought, they should re-evaluate Hechen’s value.”
Qiao Zhi put away his cell phone, drew a contract and threw it to Lin An, “You guessed it right.”
Lin An opened the contract and read it one by one.
“Do you need to be so careful?” Qiao Zhi felt strange and joked: “You haven’t read your own contract like this, right?” He smacked his lips and suddenly asked Lin An: “No… are you a little too nice to him? Why are you?
“Second team auxiliary?”Lin An ignored his words and went straight to the point.
“Yes,” Qiao Zhi said, “Don’t speak yet and listen to me.”
“What the headquarters means is to let Lay join the first team and He Chen join the second team to take Lay’s place.Hechen participated as a substitute in the summer competition.”
“This is what the headquarters means, and I think it’s appropriate.”Qiao Zhi said: “The headquarters also considers risks. Once Hechen’s incident breaks out in the middle of the game, the main force Lay can hold on to the situation without affecting the progress of the game.”
“On the other hand, I think you also need to think about it from Lay’s perspective.”Qiao Zhi said: “He is only less than two years younger than you. He has trained diligently for so many years. Cider has withdrawn from the team. This is one of the few opportunities for him to join the first team.”
“Although I haven’t said it explicitly these days, He Chen has been coming in and out of the base, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell what’s going on. The second team also has a lot of guesses in private…”
Lin An frowned.
“Don’t be so quick to get angry. Yes, we don’t allow speculation in the team, but you are not a child anymore. How can you be afraid of others if you don’t understand them?If you can keep your mouth shut, can you still keep your thoughts in check?Don’t you understand that it’s better to clear things up than to block them?”Qiao Zhi said, “In short, for everyone’s mentality, the harmony of the team environment, and other people’s attitude towards He Chen, this is the best arrangement now.”
Qiao Zhi said sincerely: “Gloam, not everyone is like you. You have great talent, hard work and good luck. You have reached the altar within two years of your debut.I also trouble you to step down occasionally and consider the situation of ordinary people.”
Lin An added expressionlessly, “I’m also handsome.”
Qiao Zhi: “…”
He also knew that Hechen’s performance in this game was very impressive, even equal to that of HAH’s current South, so it was not too much to give him a spot in the first team.
It was true that He Chen showed his strength this time, but it was not enough.
Qiao Zhi felt a little guilty, looked at Lin An and said cautiously: “If you don’t have any other questions, should I go down to find He Chen?”
Lin An took the contract and continued to turn over it, ignoring him.
He Chen didn’t know that the two of them were arguing about their own affairs again.But from the moment Lin An gave him a hint downstairs, he figured out that Lin An and Qiao Zhi were probably talking about signing his contract.
“So why are you able to turn your gloves inside out so quickly?” Fade approached He Chen curiously, “Is it really your luck?”
He Chen stirred the coffee in the cup and came back to his senses after hearing his words: “Actually, it’s not difficult. You’ll understand after playing it a few times. It’s just a matter of probability.”
“Probability question?Can you teach me something?”Fade star eyes.
“Okay, the official character information of ‘The Thief’ has been explained quite clearly, but many players have not read it carefully.”
He Chen entered the official website on his mobile phone and brought up the detailed information of the thief, “To put it simply, it depends on the conditions for inclusion and rejection…”
When Joe came downstairs, Fade was about to collapse.
“What?What’s the reason why it’s here???”
Qiao Zhi was shocked when he came to see the papers on the table full of formulas and data, “No, Fade, what are you talking about with a top student who didn’t even understand high school mathematics?You are a waste of paper, you are a waste of money.”
He Chen tried to explain to him, “Actually, most of it is high school knowledge…”
“Hey, stop being so literal-minded. I graduated from a prestigious university, so don’t leave any ink.”Qiao Zhi pulled him upstairs, leaving Fade there to continue scratching his scalp.
He Chen entered the conference room and sat next to Lin An in a circle of empty seats without any hesitation.
“Is this a contract for me?”When he tilted his head, the brim of his hat poked Lin An’s neck, so he took it off easily.
“Well, you can check and see if you have any questions. If you have any requests, you can make them.”
Qiao Zhi’s eyes widened as he watched.
Needless to say, He Chen obviously had a psychological shadow from his childhood experiences when he was close to other people and the camera.But Lin An also knew very well. Would he be so relaxed about being approached by someone of the same sex?
“Look carefully at the place I circled and let Manager Qiao change it.”Lin An handed him the pen and the contract.
Qiao Zhi’s fists were hardened, “…” Your uncle is so angry.
He Chen didn’t seem to have any objections to the issue that Lin An was concerned about before. He read the contract very calmly.
Qiao Zhi thought he didn’t understand at first, but when He Chen actually asked two vague statements related to the signing, he looked at him in surprise.
“The live broadcast contract will be signed with a third-party company. It is a platform with others. Our staff will coordinate the price according to the market price…” Although Hechen did not mention it, Qiao Zhi still explained to him the decision of the headquarters and Lay’s replacement.
What was not beyond his expectation was that He Chen’s reaction was very calm, “I can understand.”
He even looked at Lin An’s face and pursed his lips, “To get to this point, the captain has made many exceptions for me, and I am not dissatisfied, so…”
Don’t be unhappy either.
He had no experience in coaxing people, he just relied on his instinct to make Lin An happy.
Lin An was stunned for a moment when a chocolate was stuffed in his hand.
“Forget anything else.Lin An tapped on the contract and said, “You can do it as long as you think it’s suitable. But for this one, the contract period is not two years, you have to sign it year by year.””
He Chen looked at Qiao Zhi.
Joe was speechless.
“I know you can do it.Lin An said seriously: “With He Chen’s growth rate, his net worth in one year will definitely be more than what he is now.”I also want the stability of the team.Manager Qiao, this is not too much.”
Qiao Zhi understood his concerns, and he could indeed fight for this from the headquarters, so he nodded.
“Okay.”
“Manager Qiao, please make slight modifications to the two parts you just mentioned, and I will sign the new contract after you get it.”He Chen closed the folder and handed it to Qiao Zhi.
Qiao Zhi looked at the two of them repeatedly for a while, then left with the folder with a gossipy look on his face.
“I know you’re good for me.”As soon as Qiao Zhi closed the door, He Chen spoke.
“It doesn’t matter,” he said: “I have read a lot of e-sports related information recently and know that this circle likes to use strength to speak for itself.”
“It just so happens that I like it too.”
The mask concealed his determined expression, but Lin An could clearly see his bright eyes.
“I won’t always be in this position, I will be with you.”
