"Internet Cafe?" Gao Yingjie was puzzled at Qiao Yifan’s reply. He even thought he had heard wrong. When Qiao Yifan confirmed it with a nod of his head, Gao Yingjie noticed that he had finished packing his belongings.
Qiao Yifan only had one suitcase, stuffed with his clothing. The other things had been provided by the Club. New players didn’t have the qualifications to request anything. In parison, many famous players bought their own residences. The Club provided them with a room, but it was used more as a rest stop. However, since pro players often moved around quite a bit, they would one day move to a different city, so not all players bought their own homes.
"Where did you say you were going?" Gao Yingjie still had his doubts towards Qiao Yifan’s reply.
"I’m going to a place, so I can continue practicing and improving." Qiao Yifan smiled, "Don’t worry. I’ll e back."
"Oh..."
"But I’m afraid that when we meet again, we won’t be teammates. It’s too bad that we never got the chance to play alongside each other in a match." Qiao Yifan said.
"That’s okay. We’ll always be friends!" Gao Yingie said.
"You’re right." Qiao Yifan smiled.
"I’ll send you off?"
"Sure."
The two youths walked out of the Club together. After exiting through the main gate, one of them got on a car, while the other stayed. They waved goodbye and from then on, the two would walk different paths.
City H, Club Excellent Era.
The wele ceremony for Xiao Shiqin went on for the entire morning. It ended at around noon.
The fans left, filled with hope and excitement, while Xiao Shiqin’s understanding of the Club Excellent Era had only just begun. He met with the pro players and the employees of the different departments, which took up the afternoon. Excellent Era was very content with Xiao Shiqin. Xiao Shiqin found no issues receiving such courtesy either.
Dinner that day was nothing out of the ordinary. There were just more people than usual. Tao Xuan personally attended it too. However, at this moment, the main character was no longer Xiao Shiqin. Sun Xiang had transferred last winter, arriving half a year before Xiao Shiqin. He was also someone who Tao Xuan valued greatly and couldn’t be treated coldly just because of Xiao Shiqin’s arrival. In Tao Xuan’s heart, Sun Xiang was the true core and ace player of the team.
At dinnertime, Tao Xuan sat between these two, chatting cheerfully with them. The other team members couldn’t help but be envious. In reality, Team Excellent Era wasn’t so harmonious or stable. They were a relegated team, after all. With so many players in the team, how could they not have any plans for themselves? Some were willing to bet on Team Excellent Era’s future, while others weren’t. However, they didn’t need to make their decision on July 1st. The transfer window opened between July 1st and August 31st. During these two months, there was time for them to survey the situation first.
Especially for the players in the main roster. Who didn’t want to have a few offers? Relegated teams were often shopped around by the other teams as if they were supermarkets. However, most relegated teams were crappy, so the supermarket goods were of limited quality. Excellent Era was different though! Excellent Era’s relegation could be considered a miracle. No one ever doubted the skill level of Team Excellent Era’s players. When Excellent Era was officially relegated, who knew how many Clubs contacted Excellent Era or their players.
Inviting Xiao Shiqin to join the team was not only to appease the fans and give them confidence in Excellent Era’s future, but also to tell the other Clubs: Excellent Era isn’t finished yet. Don’t think of us as a supermarket. In fact, we’re only growing stronger! Did you see? We were even able to grab an All Star player like Xiao Shiqin despite being relegated!
Inside the team, Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin needed to be won over. As for everyone else, preparations had been made. Xiao Shiqin’s addition to the team could be used as an opportunity too. However, you cannot get fat with only one mouthful. There was an order that needed to be followed. Work had to be pleted step by step. Right now, winning over Sun Xiang and Xiao Shiqin was most important.
Tao Xuan chatted with these two core members, while also being mindful of the other players in the team. From time to time, he would say a few things to everyone and even talk with a few one on one. He didn’t leave anyone pletely out.
However, there was one person who was difficult to deal with.
Su Mucheng.
These days, even though Su Mucheng participated in everything the Club required, her heart wasn’t there. When Tao Xuan talked to her for a bit, her only replies were "Oh
