Looking at Du Juan walking down the corridor carrying coffee, Su Zhe suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
Du Juan used to give people the impression of being capable and steady, with a strong aura, but today Su Zhe always felt that Du Juan's back looked weak and frivolous, even with a sense of despair.
What's more, in the past, when Du Juan would talk to his team members, when would he leave after the call? Even if there were urgent matters waiting to be dealt with in the office, Du Juan would take the team members with him.
From the establishment of the Paw team to the present, Du Juan has taken great care of the team members, like a sister and a gentle and responsible teacher. But now Su Zhe can only look at Du Juan's back in the corridor, which inevitably makes Su Zhe think wildly.
He always felt that Du Juan was a little strange, as if he didn't dare to face himself.
"I hope I'm overthinking..."
Su Zhe smiled bitterly and said to himself, then followed Du Juan and walked over.
The two entered the office, and Du Juan locked the door of the office very vigilantly - which made Su Zhe even more strange. Du Juan never locked the door when talking to his team members.
"sit down."
Du Juan said with a smile, while lowering his head and taking a sip of coffee.
At this time, Su Zhe noticed that Du Juan's hand holding the coffee cup was trembling. It was very slight, but it was easy to see the trembling.
"Sister Juan, didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Su Zhe asked in a low voice, his voice cautious.
Du Juan concealed a smile and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. Maybe I'm too nervous about the finals coming soon."
After saying that, Du Juan put the coffee cup on the table, looked up into Su Zhe's eyes, and moved her lips, but stopped talking.
Su Zhe felt more and more strange, frowned and asked: "Sister Juan, there is something wrong with your current state. What happened to our team? Is there anything I can do?"
Du Juan smiled, but Su Zhe could see that Du Juan was obviously faking a smile.
Du Juan said: "No, don't think about it. Our team is doing very well now. With everyone's efforts, especially under your leadership, it can be said that our team has never been so good now, whether it is the results of the competition or the performance in the competition.
In terms of media influence, our PAW team is a miracle, a miracle born from the City of Kings."
When Su Zhe heard what Du Juan said, instead of feeling relieved, he became even more worried.
"Sister Juan, what exactly happened? Let's stop talking in circles and tell the truth." Su Zhe whispered.
Du Juan saw that Su Zhe had seen through everything, and her brows that were originally relaxed finally frowned.
She sat down on her chair, looked up at Su Zhe, looked very guilty and embarrassed and said: "Okay, since we are all old friends, let me tell you something directly. Our Paw team is now
In the media and in the hearts of the audience, your status is very high and has almost been deified. Su Zhe, this has a lot to do with you. You are the well-deserved ace of our Paw team..."
Having said this, Du Juan pushed his laptop over and displayed one of the web pages.
"Su Zhe, look, these are several websites that specialize in betting, and they have odds on our next finals of the City of Kings..."
Su Zhe looked up and saw that the betting website had indeed started placing bets. The odds of the bets were different from what Wangcai had shown him. The odds for Team A-storm were 1:7.73.
Seeing this, Su Zhe raised his head and asked, "Sister Juan, what do you mean?"
Du Juan's face was pale and her lips were dry. She took another sip of coffee before she could continue: "Su Zhe, our club is neither yours nor mine. It is opened by Boss Tang, and Boss Tang is a businessman. He The purpose of opening this club and forming this team is not for glory or passion for e-sports, but for money and profit..."
Having said this, Du Juan pointed to the screen lightly: "Now everyone thinks that our Paw team will definitely defeat the A-storm team in the finals, and even adjusted the odds of the A-storm team to 1:7 or 1:8. , Su Zhe, do you know what this means? This means that once A-storm wins the championship, the buyer of their side will have a leverage of 7 times or 8 times. If it is a million-level capital investment, then The income gained is in the tens of millions, have you ever thought about the huge profits?"
After Du Juan said these words, her cheeks turned from pale to red.
Obviously, Du Juan also felt that it was an extremely shameless and despicable thing to say these dirty things to Su Zhe and the man who single-handedly brought the Paw team to the pinnacle of glory. But Du Juan still said Yes, and it was explained in great detail.
Of course Su Zhe understood what Du Juan meant. He knew how to earn the money and how to earn it, but Su Zhe couldn't accept it at all. He thought it was extremely ridiculous.
"Sister Juan, what do you mean... you want us to deliberately lose to the A-storm team in the finals to give Boss Tang a chance to make huge profits?" Su Zhe asked with a sneer. He couldn't even believe that Du Juan would Make such a request.
But the fact is that Dujuan did mention it, again and again.
"Yes, Su Zhe, don't get excited yet. When this deal is completed, Boss Tang will give each of you a big red envelope. This big red envelope will be more than ten times your signature fee, which is enough..." Du Juan smiled. He said, but there was a bit of helplessness in his smile.
"stop."
Su Zhe raised his hand and stopped Du Juan from continuing to speak.
"Sister Juan, our Paw team has come all the way so far and is qualified to compete for the Champions City Championship. This is due to everyone's efforts, hard training, and challenging ourselves day after day. I believe that everyone has worked hard. Their goal is not money, or not just money, but also the glory in their hearts and their desire for the king. The money promised by Boss Tang has no temptation for us..."
"But Su Zhe..." Du Juan whispered.
Su Zhe waved his hand again to interrupt Du Juan's words, and continued: "Sister Juan, e-sports is also a competition. The basic principle of all competitions is fair competition. As long as they are competitive players, from athletes who participate in the Olympic Games to win glory for the country, to schools. As a student participating in the sports meeting, I will never betray my conscience and cheat. Sister Juan, I have learned a lot from you, but now, do you want to teach me to cheat and make money that is unconscionable? "
"Su Zhe! You don't understand!"
Hearing this, Dujuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and the accumulated pressure in her heart finally burst out, causing her to completely lose her composure.
"Su Zhe! My captain, I know you have principles and I know you are an upright person, but do you really think I am asking for your consent in this matter? Do you really think I am pleading in this matter?
You? Do you think that you are the captain of Paw Team, and everything about Paw Team is subject to your orders?" Du Juan smiled bitterly and said: "Boss Tang has already issued an order on this matter, and we can only execute it... let alone
You and even I have no choice! I founded the Paw team by myself. Do you think I am willing to make money at the expense of the conscience of the Paw team? After hearing Boss Tang’s notice yesterday, I stayed up all night! But Tang
The boss said, either do as he said, or the Paw team will be disbanded! We finally made it to the KPL, we can’t disband on the spot, right?!"
"Boss Tang...he...said that?"
After hearing this, Su Zhe felt shocked and angry.
Originally, he thought that Boss Tang was a gentleman and a person who could achieve great things, but who knew that businessmen would show their true colors in the face of interests, and Boss Tang's appearance would be so ugly.
This is coercion and coercion!
If the Paw team still wants to play KPL, then everyone must do what Boss Tang wants!
At this time Du Juan smiled helplessly: "So Su Zhe, do you understand now? We don't have a choice. If I don't agree with Boss Tang's approach, then I have been fired now. And if you don't accept his order
, Huangshan will take your place in tomorrow’s final."
