After a night of partying, it was already past 9am when I woke up the next day.
After breakfast, Gao Lin, who had no training mission, called his cousin Mu Luorou. When he learned that they were having breakfast outside, he wanted to go out and meet them.
The promotion round is not over yet, and it will take at least four days before the quarter-finals can be held. They just won the FL team last night. Today, Lu Hai specially allowed them to rest for two days. Club director Rong Shichang also said that he would take them out for a trip at noon. Generally speaking, it can be regarded as a reward for them winning the top eight spots in the finals.
Gao Lin didn't care much about traveling or anything like that. He wanted to stay with his cousins and girls and enjoy the warmth and happiness of his family.
"Jiao Lu, I want to go out for a while." Gao Lin said when he walked into Lu Hai's room and saw Lu Hai writing something in his notebook.
"What are you doing out there?" Lu Hai adjusted his glasses, raised his head and asked Gao Lin.
"My family came to watch the team's game. They live in a nearby hotel. I want to go out and accompany them." Gao Lin said honestly.
"Your family came to Houston to watch the game." Lu Hai was very surprised. He came to Houston from China at his own expense, and the round-trip air ticket cost 78,000 yuan. Not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy people rarely do this. You know, This is just an e-sports competition, not an orthodox sports competition. In the eyes of Chinese people today, e-sports is still a game that is not a serious business.
Playing games and getting ahead is the truest idea of almost all Chinese parents.
"Well, yes." Gao Lin nodded.
"When will you come back?" Lu Hai asked.
"Maybe at night." Gao Lin said.
"In the evening." Lu Hai frowned, "At noon, Director Rong said he would organize a team to travel..."
"I won't go." Gao Lin said. Although he really wanted to join in the fun with the team, he wanted to accompany his cousins more. His rebellious escape five years ago caused him to lose too much love from his family. Now the wounds are gradually healing. Naturally, he would love her more.
Lu Hai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay then, be careful. If you are not familiar with the place, don't wander around."
His family members all came to Houston to watch the game, and he, as the coach of the team, couldn't stop them from getting together.
"Okay." Gao Lin nodded in agreement, turned around and was about to walk out, but Lu Hai stopped him again.
"By the way, Gao Lin, you can take your family and travel with us so that we can take care of each other."
It doesn't cost much to bring two or three family members with you. I think given the generous character of the honorary director, he would agree. Gao Lin's parents came to Houston at their own expense, which itself cost a lot of money. Moreover, judging from Gao Lin's appearance, his family background is not that good. He is very wealthy. Letting him take his family to travel will not only save them some money, but also increase the awareness of the team's parents about the team.
You know, Chinese parents rarely support their children to enter the e-sports industry. Gao Lin obviously has e-sports talent. If his parents and family agree to his development in this area, then there will be much less resistance from the team in the future. .
"Uh..." Gao Lin didn't know how to answer, so he thought for a moment and said, "Let me call them and ask them."
His cousin has a quiet temperament and doesn't like to interact with strangers. Gao Lin doesn't dare to make decisions for her. In addition, his cousin's aloof identity will have an impact on him in the future if he is recognized. Now, he wants to Live a peaceful life. After all, he is the only child of the old Gao family, a powerful domestic political family. Even if he doesn't want to, he must shoulder the important responsibilities of the family.
The old man said that he would only be given two years. After two years, no matter whether he is successful or not, or how well he does, he must belong to the family and obey the arrangements of the family and elders. What is certain is that the official career is his final destination. , although he doesn't like the intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom, but he is the only bloodline in Lao Gao's family, and no one can continue the incense except him.
If it hadn't been for the accident five years ago, I'm afraid the old man would have asked him to accept the family's arrangement. After what happened five years ago, the old man felt guilty and had not dared to force him from the beginning. Maybe, the old man I wanted to weaken the impact of that incident on him by letting him live for two years.
"Okay, if you agree, tell me and I'll tell Director Rong." Lu Hai nodded.
"Okay." Gao Lin turned around and walked out.
I went back to the room and called Mu Luorou, but it was the little girl who answered the phone.
She seemed to still be angry with him for teasing him on the last phone call. After answering the phone, the little girl kept scolding him, which made him laugh out loud.
After all the talk, the girl was finally coaxed, but after hearing him say that he wanted Mu Luorou to answer the phone, the little girl threw the phone away angrily.
He smiled helplessly and chatted with Mu Luorou for a few words. After hearing that she didn't want to travel with the team, Gao Lin didn't say anything.
"What's wrong?" After talking to Aunt Meng for a while, he hung up the phone and turned around. He saw Yang Tianshui looking at him with a strange look on his face. Gao Lin asked inexplicably.
"Master Lu, your family is here to watch the game." Yang Tianshui asked.
"Didn't I tell you a few days ago?" Gao Lin nodded and said.
"Don't your family members tell you that you play e-sports?" Yang Tianshui asked again.
"What's there to say?" Gao Lin said, thinking of something, he looked at Yang Tianshui and said, "Don't your family members come to you?"
"That's for sure." Yang Tianshui smiled bitterly, "You don't know, I told my dad that I came to your city to work. I didn't make a name for myself, so I didn't even dare to tell them."
"This..." Gao Lin was speechless, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. The national conditions are such that in the eyes of parents, e-sports is really not a legitimate industry. Most parents are not willing to do it when they have not achieved success or made a breakthrough. Approval for children to enter.
"What would you say if your family called to ask about your situation?" Gao Lin asked.
"You can say whatever you want, just make it up. Anyway, I have my salary to pay them back every month, and they all believe it." Yang Tianshui shrugged.
"Then when are you going to tell them? Keeping it secret like this is not an option." Gao Lin frowned and said.
"Let's talk about it later. I think when I win a world championship and go back, they will definitely agree with me." Yang Tianshui said with infinite anticipation.
"Almost." Gao Lin smiled slightly, turned around and walked out.
Looking at Gao Lin's back, Yang Tianshui couldn't help but be stunned. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and murmured: "Are you coming soon?"
As he said that, he looked up at Gao Lin who disappeared at the door, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
With him here, it is possible.
Thinking of the moment when I stood on the world's top stage holding a trophy, when I thought about the moment when I confessed to my parents, when I thought about the moment when I received the support and cheers from my relatives, friends and family, unknowingly, my eyes suddenly became a little blurry.
