The visitor nodded politely to Xiao Yuan, straightened his clothes and sat in the chair next to him. His complexion was dark, which looked even darker in the dimly lit venue, with only his eyes shining brightly.
"You were never late for any party you attended before." Xiao Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at the stage, "Now that you have become a bigger official, you have become more assertive."
"That's unfair. I want to tell you that I just came from the airport and I'm not even jet-lagged. Do you believe it or not?" Ji Yunze said with a tired look.
"Where did it come from? Bombay?" Xiao Yuan asked teasingly, insinuating that his skin tone was darker.
"The Commonwealth of Australia." Ji Yunze didn't care about Xiao Yuan's hint. He put his briefcase on the table, took out an IPAD and read the files and said, "I'm too busy, running around every day, so my face is getting worse."
It's getting darker and darker. Unlike you, the white and tender ones raised in the teahouse have never been exposed to wind or sun."
"You know, I am a person with no ambition. Staying in the tea room is the best choice. Whoever likes the wind and rain outside can accept it." Xiao Yuan said slowly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
, forming a very sharp contrast with the busy Ji Yunze who was still reading documents next to him.
"No ambition?" Ji Yunze suddenly smiled, "My brother, if you had no ambition, you wouldn't be able to create Team Zero One."
"Playing in the NFL and having fun with young people is not an ambition. You are exaggerating." Xiao Yuan smiled, "Besides, wasn't it also your arrangement?"
"Why did I arrange it again?! Let me say it again, your business has nothing to do with me. I just invited you to watch an exhibition match last year, and you got nothing!" Ji Yunze corrected Xiao Yuan's statement righteously.
"Yeah, yes, it's a coincidence that I sit next to you today, right?" Xiao Yuan smiled and cooperated with him to pretend to be stupid.
"Yes, I told the organizer to just find a corner seat and take a look, don't be too conspicuous, but now I sit next to you." Ji Yunze looked innocent, "It's just a coincidence, I'm also very surprised."
Xiao Yuan was silent. He had known Ji Yunze for more than ten years. He knew very well that Ji Yunze's biggest characteristic was that he was good at talking nonsense in a serious manner, and he could just pick it up and write it off casually, without even typing a draft.
This guy can turn white into black, right into wrong, and unreasonable into reasonable. He is born with the potential of a debater. No matter how hot-tempered the young players in the team were back then, they were all trained to speak well by him.
He was speechless and even suspected that he had taken the wrong turn in life for more than ten years. This time he finally met his life mentor. Half of Xiao Yuan's negotiation skills came from his mentor, but at this time, in front of him, he said:
I don’t even want to say it.
"Your team will play in the next NFL game, right?" Ji Yunze looked through the files on his iPad and suddenly asked Xiao Yuan.
"Well, the first show." Xiao Yuan answered, and at the same time picked up his phone and looked at the time, realizing that the Best Newcomer Award would be presented in ten minutes.
"Not bad, not bad. If you train my disciples well, you will have a promising future." Ji Yunze nodded, his expression very pleased.
——What’s the future to look forward to?
Xiao Yuan frowned and suddenly became alert: "No, there's something behind your words. Lao Ji, tell me clearly in advance what kind of tricks you want to do, and don't make any more coincidences."
"Okay, okay, let me make it clear to you first because of our decades of friendship." Ji Yunze smiled and picked up the iPad in his hand and shook it towards Xiao Yuan. On the screen was a document full of English. This
The document only flickered in front of his eyes for two seconds before it was taken back, as if nothing happened.
"This is……"
Although it only lasted less than two seconds, Xiao Yuan had already taken a rough look at the document and looked at Ji Yunze in surprise.
"Shhh, keep it a secret for now, don't say anything."
Ji Yunze mysteriously put his index finger on his lips, making a naughty silence gesture.
Xiao Yuan looked at him seriously. At this moment, the sweet voice of the female host announcing the next segment came from the stage.
"Next, welcome to the contestants who won the Best Newcomer Award for their outstanding performance in this qualifying competition! The first place, Lu Yunqian, the role is the swordsman [Heng Daoyi Sword]! The second place, Ino Si
Tran, the role is the psychic [Sun Dasheng]! The third place, Zhang Lan, the role is the shooter [Leaning on the window and listening to the wind]! Welcome them!"
There was a round of neat applause from the audience. Although it was not as enthusiastic as welcoming the star players, it was enough to express the audience's respect for the rookie players. Two girls came to the stage amidst the applause and respectfully greeted the players and the host.
After bowing to the audience, Xiao Yuan clearly heard various comments coming from behind, all of which were comments about Lu Yunqian's appearance.
"The Internet said that this girl is very ugly. Last time she fainted a person waiting for a bus and sent her to the hospital via 120, but I think she is quite cute."
"You put on makeup, right? Nowadays, putting on makeup is like changing your face. A man can turn into a beautiful woman. But when you take off the makeup, you will become a different person, and no one will recognize you."
"I'm a little curious about what she looked like. Can photos ward off evil spirits?"
"I don't know how to ward off evil spirits, but the housekeeper should be good at it. I heard that this girl had a fight in Ziteng Internet Cafe before, and the girl next to her is the sister of the Internet cafe owner!"
"So tough?"
"She looks like a primary school student. Can she go to an Internet cafe to fight?"
"Who knows, it's just a random rumor. Didn't it say that she is Lu Daoheng's sister? I've met Lu Daoheng, and she looks pretty normal. His sister should be pretty good even without makeup."
Xiao Yuan took a sip of tea silently and continued to stare at the stage as if he hadn't heard.
Since Eno has not returned to the team after returning to Sweden, the award can only be received by the captain. Lu Yunqian stood nervously next to the female host, mechanically stretched out her hand to take the two small long crystal trophies that were sent, and held them tightly.
Holding the trophy in her arms, she suddenly felt that everything was unreal. The venue was fake, the audience was fake, and even the trophy in her hand didn't seem to belong to her. The people around her were just from last year.
The impression of participating in the All-Star Game is that she is not a professional player, she is still just an ordinary girl without any halo.
All this feels very unreal!
"Let's talk about your acceptance speeches." The female host said to the two girls with a smile. After learning that the Rookie Award was won by two girls, she was very surprised and happy, and her tone was much louder than when she was interviewing professional stars just now.
A bit gentle.
Zhang Lan held the trophy tightly with both hands and looked helplessly at Lu Yunqian beside him. She didn't want to give an acceptance speech at all. Although she boldly said in the lounge just now that she would be responsible for all speeches, let
Lu Yunqian only wanted to win prizes and compete, but that was just a momentary show of bravery by a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. Now when she got to the field and saw the eyes of tens of thousands of people focused on her, her mind immediately went blank, and she didn't know anything except getting the trophy.
