Lao He has not been eating well and sleeping well these past two days.
I have no energy to do anything.
Going to work in a company is like fighting guerrillas, for fear of being caught by the old boss.
My hair has gone bald a lot, but my anti-reconnaissance awareness has improved a lot. I guess I don’t need training even if I’m being filmed in a spy drama.
His phone also became a wake-up call. Looking at the phone was like looking at a time bomb. As soon as the ring rang, he wanted to throw it away. The hand that answered the phone was trembling.
The old leader was puzzled.
Is this Lao He avoiding me?
Lao He slapped his chest in front of him and said, "No matter what happens, no one can hide from you."
I didn’t sleep with your wife.
He thought.
But when he got home, he was still worried. He had already used the excuse that the phone call in South Korea could not be reached. He calculated the time and it was time to return to China. It would be unreasonable if he could not get through by then.
What to do? Thinking of Li Xiufeng in his mind, Lao He felt infinitely melancholy.
Have times really changed?
There is no ship to carry me, Lao He, in the new era.
At noon the next day, Lao He finished his meal in the workplace cafeteria and dialed Li Xiufeng's number in front of the old boss.
It just so happened that Li Xiufeng had just gotten off the plane and turned on his mobile phone. If he had called earlier, he might not have been able to get through.
Li Xiufeng was slightly surprised when he received the call from his uncle. The two generations were separated by a generation and their relationship was not that close. This call was nothing but a sign of the Three Treasures Palace.
Fortunately, after Lao He figured it out, he got straight to the point on the phone. He thought to himself that it was in front of the leader anyway, and you could decide whether you agreed or disagreed.
Li Xiufeng said he was busy and had no time, and he understood and had an explanation for his leadership.
But Li Xiufeng was really not that unkind. The old leader was in the name of his high school alma mater.
Although this period was the transfer period, Li Xiufeng thought that with the current binding relationship between him and KG, no matter how chaotic the transfer period before the summer games was, no one would be able to find him.
Then I would just take this opportunity to visit my hometown, otherwise I only go back once a year at the end of the year.
In addition, Li Ranran is about to take the high school entrance examination. There are no elders in the family to take the exam, so she can supervise her when she goes back.
Speaking of high school alma mater, Li Xiufeng's high school in the small county town is objectively not as good as the high school in a big city like Jianghai where I went to the last parent-teacher conference for Xia Zilu.
But if Li Xiufeng really wanted to compare, he still felt that the high school alma mater he remembered was better.
After all, that was the place where he spent his most ignorant teenage years and left countless youthful memories.
Li Xiufeng still remembers that his alma mater, in order to motivate students, looked up at the teaching building when he entered the school. There was a line on it that said, "Today I am proud of my alma mater, and tomorrow my alma mater will be proud of me."
However, my classmates were young at the time, and everyone felt that this sentence was very far away, even further away than top universities like Tsinghua, Peking University, Harvard, and Cambridge, and the high schools in that small county town did not have many important courses in one year.
Li Xiufeng didn't expect that as time passed, these words would be so close to him one day.
After hanging up the phone, he smiled and shook his head. Although Li Xiufeng verbally agreed to his uncle's proposal on the phone, he couldn't go back during the recent period.
It's not that he's being cool, he really can't go back if he can't go back. Before he came back from Korea, manager Link said that there would be a personal interview with Station C when he came back this time, so he should prepare for it.
That's right, it's the C station you thought of.
Li Xiufeng was a little confused at first. He didn't expect that he would be able to go to Station C one day.
But when he thought about the influence of the Olympic champion in the country, he felt a little enlightened.
Of course, the more important point is that this is also the first time that Chinese e-sports has won the championship in the Olympics. This time, the officials regard Li Xiufeng as a model and propaganda mouth.
Some people may still be wondering why the exclusive interview is not given to other teammates.
Li Xiufeng also had such doubts at the beginning. It was not until this morning before returning home that Li Xiufeng woke up and looked in the mirror while brushing his teeth that he suddenly became enlightened.
...
Since Li Xiufeng and his team finished the game and spent a few days in South Korea, their return to China was relatively low-key.
When we arrived, except for a small commotion caused by being recognized in the arrival hall after getting off the plane, there were no large-scale fans outside to pick us up.
In fact, this is also a good thing. May and June are the peak travel periods. If a large number of fans show up to pick up the airport, a lot of on-site security personnel will definitely be troubled to maintain order. It is better not to occupy public resources.
After leaving the airport, the group of people separated and went back to their respective homes.
The KG Club's special car was just outside. Li Xiufeng and others got on the car and went straight back to the club. There were no twists and turns along the way.
Although Li Xiufeng and the others are playing in full swing in South Korea during this period, the major clubs are basically on vacation during the offseason. If it weren't for the opening of the LPL summer transfer window a few days ago, it wouldn't be so lively.
But after returning to China, Li Xiufeng doesn't have to worry about contracts and renewals, nor does he have to worry about contacts and offers from other clubs.
But as the owner and second shareholder of KG Club, it is impossible to say that he is completely unconcerned.
Currently, Saofen, Huanfeng and others signed by KG last season are only signed for one season. This can be regarded as following the tradition of signing players when KG entered the LPL last year. They will give you a trial period and then evaluate whether to sign a long-term contract.
This "tradition" has a good side and a bad side.
The good thing is that you don't have to waste resources, and you don't have to tie up your players and not let them go. The bad thing is that the good seeds you have cultivated need to spend further energy and cost to keep them.
Throughout the first half of the Spring Split, from Li Xiufeng's personal observation, the performance of several players in the team had more or less ups and downs, but overall there were no problems and they were all able to renew their contracts.
Of course, this is only a unilateral attitude of the club and him, and the specifics still depend on the player's personal wishes.
As for Kake, who performed very well in the spring games and Olympics, it will definitely not just be a contract extension. His value this season will have to be negotiated privately between the club manager and Kake.
Because Kake transitioned into a support role at the beginning, no one knew how he was playing. He only signed the most basic contract, which can be said to be equivalent to getting a basic salary when he joined the company.
This has nothing to do with your qualifications. If you receive a high salary even though you are poor in ability, then this kind of club is destined not to go far.
But now that Kake has proven his strength with results, KG will definitely try his best to keep Kake next season, and he will naturally make concessions in the contract.
Although Li Xiufeng is the second shareholder, there is no need for him to worry about the players' specific value and signing fees. Just like Pei Li has always been the hands-off boss after investing in KG.
Professional matters should be left to professionals, and Li Xiufeng has always believed so.
During the few days he was resting at the club after returning to China, Li Xiufeng was waiting for the interview at Station C, and the rest of the time was spent on the Internet with gusto.
Generally during the transfer period, Weibo’s hot searches will be dominated by player transfers.
Super popular players such as Uz1, Theshine, Director, Rocky, etc., basically every season's transfer period will be speculated by countless netizens about their whereabouts before the club makes an announcement.
But this summer is a little different. The e-sports and entertainment circles seem to be at odds with each other on Weibo.
Today you announce the transfer of a player. For example, DWG top laner Nuguri, who just lost in the Olympics, may come to LPL.
Tomorrow, a big star will be revealed in the entertainment industry, and both parties are chasing each other on the hot search list.
Netizens ate so much melon that they almost died in the melon field.
Li Xiufeng was a little puzzled at first. He had only heard of boosting performance at the end of the year, but it was only summer.
One night when he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, Li Xiufeng scrolled through Weibo and looked carefully, and suddenly came across a hot search - Teacher Feng will release a new album at the end of the month.
Do not misunderstand.
Teacher Feng is not Li Xiufeng.
Li Xiufeng was suddenly enlightened after seeing it!
This is a werewolf bumping into a prophet.
Knowing the origin of all things, Li Xiufeng was no longer interested in eating these melons. Fortunately, it didn't take long, and the second set of interviews at Station C finally arrived, albeit late.
On May 27th, Li Xiufeng woke up early in the morning and did nothing else. He washed his hair first.
He is not the kind of person with oily hair, and perhaps it is due to the use of energy potions. Li Xiufeng usually doesn't wash his hair for a week now, and his hair is not so bad that it can be used for cooking.
But in an official interview today, it was said that CCTV cameras are famous for testing people, and are even more powerful than Apple's original camera.
So Li Xiufeng thought about it and decided to wash his hair and accept the interview with a new look.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Rui Bingbing from Station C's second set of "Youth Big Study" brought the staff to the KG club base.
The club pays more attention to people coming to station C. In the morning, everyone went downstairs to receive them at the door.
Li Xiufeng looked like a familiar face at first glance. Speaking of which, this was not the first time he had been interviewed by Station C.
After defeating the Japanese team in the knockout stage of the South Korean Olympics, Li Xiufeng also accepted an interview with a reporter from the official media. Unexpectedly, she was the one who came today.
It was also at this time that Li Xiufeng learned that the reporter's name was Rui Bingbing.
Rui Bingbing left a good impression on him. Today she wore a simple white unprinted long T-shirt with her shoulder-length hair covering her headset. Overall, she still loves to smile.
The group of people welcomed Rui Bingbing into the base. Li Xiufeng always thought that the reporters at Station C were the more serious ones, but Rui Bingbing gave him a completely different feeling.
She is like an ordinary person of the same age. Compared with the female reporters from Station C that I have seen on TV in the past, Rui Bingbing has a more "childish beauty" and a girl-next-door look in her delicacy.
Aura.
Perhaps it was because they were of the same age that even though the interview hadn't started yet, after entering the club base, the two chatted without any barriers. Li Xiufeng could basically pick up on everything she said.
At first glance, she looks like an old two-dimensional internet-addicted girl.
The schedule at Station C was quite tight. I didn’t take much rest after entering the base, and the interview started soon.
The two cameramen and assistants from Station C who followed all the way behind were also ready.
This interview was conducted in a more natural format. It did not involve the two parties sitting face to face and asking and answering questions like an interrogation.
It was as simple as Li Xiufeng sitting in front of the computer and opening a game. Rui Bingbing pulled another stool and sat next to him, watching him play the game and chatting.
This kind of interview is very relaxing,
It’s also easy to get people talking.
"Hello, everyone, it's me again. I'm Rui Bingbing, the location host of "Youth Study"." Rui Bingbing looked at the camera with a sweet smile.
"Okay, now everyone can take a look around us." The camera lens followed.
"We are now in the training room of an e-sports club. This e-sports club is the KG Club that just won the Olympic championship. The next meeting I want to interview is..." The camera lens showed Li Xiufeng looking at the screen.
The perfect profile.
"Yes, this is our Brother Feng." Rui Bingbing smiled and clapped to herself, very lively.
Li Xiufeng also turned his head, his sharp features under the sun appeared in the camera, and he smiled slightly, "Hello everyone, I am Phoenix."
The cameraman who has been working at Station C for many years also shook his eyes when he saw this smile. As an on-location cameraman, he followed the host all over the country and interviewed many celebrities.
But under the camera at Station C, which has no filter to beautify the face, the appearance is still pretty good.
Li Xiufeng was really the first person he had met, and this person was not an entertainment star who relied on his reputation to make a living.
Rui Bingbing said with a smile, "So today we are here to interview Brother Feng. Brother Feng is training. The interview will not affect the training, right?"
"It's not a big problem." Li Xiufeng said.
"As expected, he is a master. I usually don't even dare to reply to WeChat when playing in the league." Rui Bingbing said with a smile.
"Do you also play League?"
Li Xiufeng tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile, "Can I take the liberty of asking what rank you are now?"
Upon hearing this, Rui Bingbing immediately covered her mouth and smiled, waving her hands in embarrassment:
"Actually, I don't usually play ranked, I just play matching, rank, etc... I won't mention it."
"That doesn't seem unreasonable." Li Xiufeng said.
Rui Bingbing narrowed her crescent-shaped smile and joked, "Haha, has anyone told you that asking a girl's rank is as straight as asking her age? You must not have a girlfriend yet, right?"
"Well...this really doesn't exist."
Li Xiufeng touched his nose, then quickly put down his hand and used Riven's light speed QA to cross the tower and take away Jace on the opposite side. The system's "Killing Spree!" came from the computer's external speakers.
"Oh! So awesome!!!"
Rui Bingbing on the side exclaimed sincerely.
"It's okay." Li Xiufeng said.
"As expected of the world champion."
Rui Bingbing changed the topic, "What I want to ask is before going to this Olympic Games, did you ever think that you could win the championship? How does it feel different from previous competitions?"
Li Xiufeng knew that the official interview had begun.
"Actually, I didn't think about this before the game. I just thought that I was not representing the club this time, but representing China with the team. I thought that I couldn't embarrass the country and said something different...
Just when you see some people in the audience supporting us, they don’t hold support signs with their clubs and personal IDs like they usually do. Many people hold five-star flags in their hands, so you will feel a little pressure.”
"Haha, that's indeed the case. If I were to see the darkness in the audience on that occasion. It is said that there are more than 50,000 people sitting there watching you, I would definitely be nervous."
Rui Bingbing nodded and asked curiously, "Are you professional players nervous when competing on the stage?"
"This... happens often."
Li Xiufeng thought for a while and expressed his affirmation.
