IM E-Sports Club is located in a remote building in Shanghai. Although the location is remote, in a place like Shanghai where land is at a premium, the monthly rent easily exceeds five digits.
In addition to rent, cooking aunties and cleaning staff are all regular staffing, not to mention the high-configuration equipment of Yishui and the salary expenses of an entire team.
Even though IM is already a team that has entered the top league in the country, it is still purely losing money, but these are naturally not issues that the players need to consider.
Ever since these young guys successfully brought the IM club into the LPL, the big boss Zhou Dongsheng has shown them what it means to be inhumane.
Not only did they receive a large cash reward, but they also received no penny from the bonus and left it to their own devices. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, their income had even exceeded that of their family members.
Following the boss's advice, many people chose to send a large sum of money to their families, proudly expressing that it was the bonus they won from playing games and the boss's reward.
The vast majority of Chinese people are still very pragmatic in nature. Being able to make money means being promising. If you can already earn so much money when your peers are still studying, then why do you need a bicycle?
After getting the understanding and support of my family, it is equivalent to solving my worries, and at the same time, the inhumane boss fulfills his promise.
Not only did I change my residence to such a comfortable place, but I also had a cooking aunt to cook for me. The accommodation and food were good, and I even felt energetic during my daily training.
For a group of "internet-addicted teenagers", such a life is simply their dream. What more can a boss husband ask for?
There was nowhere to vent my inner gratitude, so I could only repay the boss with results. Not only did I get a good start in my first show, I also scored one win and one loss in the next two games.
Although the summer split has just begun, it is already quite rare for a newly promoted team to achieve such results. After all, in the minds of most people, newly promoted teams are equated with "experience babies".
And when they learned that the big boss would come to the club today, a group of young guys were ready and even broke their biological clocks and got up early to start training, but they were all absent-minded.
"Hey, why don't you think the boss is here? If I had known, I would have slept a little longer. I'm so sleepy after playing all morning." Gao Zhenning said with a yawn.
"Do you think the boss is as free as us? He probably took time out of his busy schedule to come here. We'll just wait." The young and mature Shi Shenming said with a smile.
"I envy you so much. I can play games. I have to wait two years before I can play. It's too uncomfortable. Will the boss not want me?" Yu Wenbo complained with tears in his eyes.
Sitting next to the computer on the other side was a young man who was out of tune with everyone else. He was concentrating on playing the game and was very immersed in it.
It's not that he doesn't want to integrate into the group, it's just that his Chinese proficiency is still half-baked. Although he has laid a certain foundation in the WE team before, there are still certain obstacles in communication.
In terms of career, Jiang Chenglu's experience is somewhat similar to that of Yu Wenbo. He was unable to appear because of his age. At the beginning of the year, he was loaned to a team in the Korean Secondary League to play in the game. He made his professional debut, but was limited by the team.
The strength stops at the top 16.
Then he was bought by IM from WE, and he came to this unfamiliar environment to adapt again, although he still couldn't play in the game.
But for Jiang Chenglu, who has a professional dream, as long as a team wants him, I believe that as long as he trains diligently enough, there will always be a chance to compete in the future.
What's more, the team environment of IM club is much better than that of WE. Although WE is one of the ancient wealthy clubs, it is also famously "poor".
"I just came here and I heard you saying bad things about me. How could I not want a talented young man like you?" Zhou Dongsheng walked in with a smile on his face, followed by Li Jiana and Liu.
Knowing that Zhou Dongsheng was coming to IM Club, Liu naturally rushed over without stopping.
"Hehe, although you can't play games for the time being, you are also the anchor of the boss's company and your popularity is not low. How could I not want you." Liu agreed with a smile.
"Hey, boss, why did you show up all of a sudden? I was just joking." 15-year-old Yu Wenbo said with a shy smile.
The eyes of all the teenagers could not help but focus on Zhou Dongsheng. There was a certain intimacy in his eyes. Their favorability towards this inhumane boss was immediately boosted.
"I heard that you have performed well in recent games. I just have nothing to do today. I will invite you out for a big meal later." Zhou Dongsheng began his daily behavior of increasing his favorability.
"Long live the boss!"
All the young people also cheered and cheered, but only one shy boy seemed out of place. The unfamiliar environment and language made it difficult for him to adapt.
Zhou Dongsheng looked around and saw that he had already collected three components of the champion's trident, two halberd tips and a halberd handle. I don't need to say more about who is the halberd handle.
When he saw his shy brother, who was still a little immature, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to say hello in Korean.
"Anyasa!" Because he often watches a certain monkey's live broadcast and went to Korea a while ago, Zhou Dongsheng also has a slight understanding of Korean.
Li Jiana on the side couldn't help but smile when she heard Zhou Dongsheng's poor Korean, and stepped forward to translate for the two of them.
When he learned that the young man in front of him, who looked as young as himself, was his boss, Jiang Chenglu was slightly surprised and quickly stood up and bowed to greet him.
"Boss, Nihao." Jiang Chenglu had stayed at WE for a while before, so it was no problem to say hello to the boss.
"Xiao Jiang, you have to study Chinese hard. You will have to communicate with your teammates when you play games in the future, right?" Zhou Dongsheng said with a bright smile.
"Jiliguala..." Jiang Chenglu assured seriously.
"He said that he will study hard and will not let down the boss's expectations. He will perform well if he has the opportunity to play." Li Jiana translated for him, and they were all polite words.
"Just train hard and there will definitely be a place for you in the team in the future. This is my guarantee for you." Zhou Dongsheng smiled and fed Jiang Chenglu a piece of cake.
After the translation, Jiang Chenglu smiled shyly and nodded happily.
And with Zhou Dongsheng, the boss, publicly expressing his stance, all the young players looked at each other, and their hearts were like mirrors.
Although they are young, they are not stupid. Since the boss values this player so much, they will not be in trouble with their jobs and choose to go against the boss.
In the future, they will naturally choose to get along well with this teammate. After all, this teammate, like Yu Wenbo, will not be able to play in a short time, let alone threaten their starting position.
"Is there a Korean translator in the team? If not, we need one to help Xiao Jiang master Chinese as soon as possible and lay a solid foundation for future communication in competitions. Maybe there will be other Korean players in our team in the future."
Zhou Dongsheng turned his head and asked very casually, thinking in his mind how to get the most important tip of the trident.
After all, a complete trident requires a long period of running-in before it can function. Naturally, the earlier the running-in time, the better.
And the tacit understanding between the team members requires long-term cooperation to be reflected.
And the most important point is that this last player is not only extremely strong personally, but also has excellent Chinese proficiency, and can well connect the entire team together.
At the same time, he can also play the role of taking the lead.
However, now that the season has just begun, it is not too late to find Principal Wang to fight against the autumn wind after the season is over. Anyway, we have already snatched three, and it is not too much to snatch one more.
After all, my team really needs a veteran to take charge. With the friendship between the two of them, Principal Wang can't just sit back and ignore it.
