Chapter 2873 Showdown with Excellent Era!

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Ye Qiu finally realized that his contract had already been signed long ago. He had originally planned to ask Ye Xiu to help review the contract, but now he discovered that Ye Xiu had already sold it to him!

Ye Qiu glared at Wang Yue and roared angrily, "My brother tricked me again? This contract was signed by my brother, it doesn't count!"

Wang Yue, however, was already prepared. He thought of Ye Xiu's deliberately slowed-down handwriting and calmly said, "The handwriting on the contract is his imitation of yours. I bet it's very similar. You can take a look later!"

Ye Qiu looked at Wang Yue in astonishment and said, "What you're doing is illegal!"

Wang Yue shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "Ye Qiu, you can sue your brother. Besides, your brother isn't trying to frame you. He's just playing two roles since you weren't here. Now that you're here, it's perfect for the two of you to work together."

Seeing that Ye Qiu was about to explode, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of which, since you're staying here to have fun anyway, why are you still worried about the contract? I'm not going to cheat you, and your brother isn't stupid; he won't sign an unreasonable contract! Let's talk about how things went when you went back this time. Weren't you pressured to get married?"

When Ye Qiu heard Wang Yue ask this, his attention was indeed diverted. He said smugly, "Of course we're being urged to get married. Both sides want us to get married as soon as possible. However, Tang Rou very decisively stated that she has to beat my brother, otherwise, we won't get married for the time being."

Seeing that Ye Qiu clearly hadn't finished speaking and was waiting for him to ask questions, Wang Yue graciously asked, "If that's the case, her parents will definitely say she's being unreasonable, thinking she's trying to sabotage the marriage. How did you handle that?"

Ye Qiu nodded immediately and said excitedly, "Of course! I can tell that Tang Rou just wants to use me as a shield. How could she possibly like me directly? Fortunately, I was prepared to tell my parents that I do like Tang Rou, but Tang Rou hasn't completely liked me yet."

So when Tang Rou said that, although her parents were very angry, my parents felt that it only confirmed that Tang Rou looked down on me, so they persuaded Tang Rou's parents, and the matter was over.

In short, Tang Rou's plan has fallen through!

Wang Yue had to admit that Ye Qiu was just as cunning as his brother.

He patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "If you want to pick up girls, then you have to keep up with the pace of the girls you're chasing. You'll have plenty of training to do in the future."

Ye Qiu said nonchalantly, "It's just playing a game, anyone with hands can do it."

Wang Yue gave Ye Qiu a thumbs up, admiring his courage for daring to say such a thing.

You know, so many professional athletes train to the point of developing lower back strain just for the sake of competition!

Therefore, Wang Yue decided to give Ye Qiu another blow for the sake of so many e-sports players. He said very seriously, "Tang Rou said that she definitely won't get married unless you defeat Ye Xiu. But if you're too bad, she'll find another reason to refuse to marry you. You don't have much time. You have to catch up with her before your brother retires!"

Ye Qiu panicked and immediately asked anxiously, "What reason? Did you get some inside information?"

"I don't have any inside information, but I've thought of many reasons, such as,"

Wang Yue paused here, and only after Ye Qiu had become anxious did he laugh and say, "The reason is very simple, it's just that you're too bad at games and you don't have anything in common with her, right? Do you think that's likely?"

Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Ye Qiu became suspicious. He immediately replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, if my brother can do it, I definitely can!"

Seeing Ye Qiu's confidence, Wang Yue smiled and said, "In that case, I'll have Wu Xuefeng train you according to the standards of a team member. I hope you can hold on and not embarrass yourself in front of Tang Rou!"

Seeing that Wang Yue didn't seem to think he could do it, Ye Qiu proudly said, "No problem, just come on!"

Seeing Ye Qiu's confidence, Wang Yue went to talk to Wu Xuefeng about it. Wu Xuefeng was also curious about Ye Xiu's younger brother, so he agreed.

However, Ye Qiu couldn't keep it up for more than two days. He didn't expect e-sports to be so boring, which was completely different from what he had imagined playing online games to be like.

When you get tired while playing games, you can quickly do some light exercise, and the things you do are things you enjoy.

But what's with the esports training where they practice vigorously flicking the mouse?

So during a meal, Ye Qiu looked at Ye Xiu and complained, "Brother, I think the best way to get someone to quit gaming is to let them play esports, but why do you love playing esports so much?"

"I've only trained for two days, and it's already so boring. Is it really worth it for you guys to train like this every day?"

Seeing his younger brother's discouragement, Ye Xiu smiled and said, "Training is certainly boring, but winning a match gives you a sense of accomplishment. You've never won before, so you don't know what it feels like to win, which is why you think it's boring."

Ye Qiu bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, saying, "What do you mean I've never won? You're making it sound like I'm a loser! Let me tell you, I just think this is a waste of time. I don't think I'm really bad."

We're twins! If you can become the best in the league, so can I!

Ye Xiu shook his head, then immediately nodded and said, "Then you should practice! I've been practicing for a long time. How can you succeed if you don't practice?"

Ye Qiu looked at Ye Xiu. Although he understood that this was his older brother's way of provoking him, he dared not say he would give up.

Because he himself understood that Tang Rou was only using him as a shield and didn't like him at all. If he dared to give up, then there would be no chance for him and Tang Rou at all, which was definitely unacceptable for Ye Qiu!
It's not that Ye Qiu particularly likes Tang Rou, it's just that such special girls are rare, and she wouldn't be willing to marry any ordinary, uninteresting girls.

So, he reluctantly started training again.

Fortunately, Tang Rou was also training, so Ye Qiu wasn't exactly alone.

Meanwhile, during Tang Rou's training, Team Happy defeated all their opponents in an offline challenge and officially joined the Glory League.

This was originally a very good thing for the city where Happy is located, since there are two teams in one city, and they were even looking forward to playing matches between teams from the same city.

To their surprise, Excellent Era suffered consecutive losses in the regular season and was forced to be eliminated from the league due to their last-place ranking. They will only be able to return next year through the Challenger Series!

It just so happens that Happy replaced Excellent Era.

This city is just one team!
As a result, Excellent Era's fans were furious. They never expected things to turn out this way. They came to the Excellent Era building to demand an explanation from Tao Xuan.

Although Tao Xuan is very good at conning people, he used to just say that Ye Qiu is old and not in good condition, and that he could only fool fans by appealing to nostalgia.

However, fans have now seen that after Ye Xiu switched teams, he actually made it back into the league, and during the competition, Ye Qiu's performance was consistently excellent, which made them distrust Tao Xuan.

Tao Xuan also knew that Ye Xiu was the only one who could save his family now. If he could appeal to his passion again and bring back Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, then his club could survive.

So Tao Xuan immediately called Wang Yue, unwilling to give up, and said as soon as they met, "Boss Wang, I'll give you Sun Xiang, plus money, to exchange for Ye Xiu, how about it? Can we make the exchange?"

After hearing this, Wang Yue couldn't help but frown and ask, "Are you stupid? No amount of money can buy Ye Qiu with Sun Xiang."

Tao Xuan said with dissatisfaction, "When you first formed your team, I helped you out. Now that Excellent Era is in trouble and needs Ye Qiu's help to get through this, it would be too unfair of you to just stand by and watch. We're all businessmen, we should help each other out."

Wang Yue was speechless. He had previously felt sorry for Tao Xuan and even sympathized with him, but now he felt that Tao Xuan deserved what he got.

He said, speechless, "Don't even think about it, I definitely won't agree!"

Tao Xuan knew Wang Yue wouldn't agree, so he immediately turned hostile and said, "Boss Wang, don't be so ruthless. You should know that the league doesn't allow people to use other people's names in esports. If I reveal Ye Xiu's situation, he will definitely be banned for life. Why don't you hand him over to me? That way, we can cooperate happily."

Wang Yue didn't expect Tao Xuan to still be unconvinced. He sneered and said, "It seems you're really courting death. Go ahead and sue me if you want. Don't blame me for not warning you, after you sue me, just pack your bags and leave. Don't make things difficult for Jia Shi's major shareholders."

After Wang Yue finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately. He thought that Tao Xuan must be crazy. Why would he bother arguing with these young masters for no reason?
When the young masters are happy and just playing around with you, you can do whatever you want without any consequences. But if they get angry, can you handle it?

Moreover, Ye Qiu is not Ye Xiu; after all, the two have a ten-year difference in education, so it's not certain that he can tolerate Tao Xuan.

Seeing that Wang Yue wasn't afraid at all, Tao Xuan got a little nervous, so he immediately called the league to check on the registration status of Team Happy.

He was shocked when he saw what was happening.

Ye Qiu and Ye Xiu were both there, but the problem was that Ye Xiu was playing Lord Grim, while Ye Qiu was playing One Autumn Leaf.

Therefore, after Wang Yue bought Yi Ye Zhi Qiu's account, the matter was out of control.

Tao Xuan knew these young masters too well; he knew he couldn't win against them, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​forcing Ye Xiu to come back.

He needs to spend more energy on how to appease the fans and how to bring Team Excellent Era back to the league.

However, Wang Yue was not one to be easily threatened. He did not intend to take action himself, but instead notified Ye Qiu.

"What? That bastard was so ruthless when he forced my brother to leave!"

Ye Qiu was still shocked after hearing this. He found it unbelievable. In their circle, unless you could completely crush the other person, they wouldn't show them no respect at all. It was an unspoken understanding.

Click till.

But what is Tao Xuan trying to do?
Ye Qiu didn't think that a mere Tao Xuan would dare to target him. Although he always wanted to run away and go out to play, he was still representing the Ye family.

Anyone who dares to target the Ye family is definitely not a simple person, so Ye Qiu ignored Tao Xuan and instead went straight to the major shareholder of Excellent Era.

The major shareholders of Excellent Era originally held shares in Excellent Era to make money. Almost every year, all of the net profit was distributed as dividends, leaving only a small amount of operating funds for the following year.

This is why, although Excellent Era appears to be very profitable, its financial operations are actually the worst in the industry.

In fact, the operational situation of other teams is not much better. Apart from a few that are spending money to build a dynasty, the others are just small fry compared to big fish.

Now that Ye Qiu has started targeting the major shareholders, the situation at Excellent Era has changed. In order to make up for some of the funding gap, while Excellent Era still needs to play in the Challenger League, they have actually started to sell off players who are not needed for the time being.

When Tao Xuan received this order, he actually argued his case, because if the main players were sold, Excellent Era would have no way to survive the Challenger Series. However, the helplessness of reality forced him to give in, because the major shareholder said that if he was unwilling to buy, he could pay to buy back the shares held by the major shareholder.

Although Excellent Era's current market value is much lower, I, Tao Xuan, simply cannot buy it all. Even after this purchase, it will still be less than 50%.

Given this situation, Tao Xuan certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to buy shares, since the team's value is rapidly depreciating, and he has no choice but to start selling players.

However, it's common in the league for relegated teams to buy players and then bring them back the following year, so nobody really cares when a team sells players; everyone starts scrambling to acquire their favorite players.

At this point, the first thing to be sold was Sun Xiang and the Berserker account he possessed!
Sun Xiang transferred from his old team to Excellent Era, hoping to increase his market value there. However, he was unexpectedly sold after playing for a year, and his market value has dropped by several million this year.

This left the young and ambitious Sharing feeling quite frustrated, but there was nothing he could do about it, since to capital he was nothing more than a commodity that could be traded.

Even the team captain Sun Xiang was betrayed, and of course, the others were the same. At this time, Happy made a move and took Qiu Fei!
As the deal was finalized, Tao Xuan looked at Wang Yue's beaming face and couldn't help but ask,

"Was the Ye family behind the targeting of our major shareholder's company?"

Wang Yue didn't expect this guy to be so clever. He nodded and said, "Yeah, it's because you guys offended Ye Qiu. After all, he's not Ye Xiu, and he doesn't have that much affection for you."

Upon hearing this, Tao Xuan's face turned pale. Because he had interacted with Ye Xiu a lot, he naturally assumed that Ye Qiu was the same as Ye Xiu. However, after Wang Yue's reminder, Tao Xuan realized the truth.

Ye Xiu didn't hold it against him; that showed his good manners, and he even cherished the friendship they had built up over the years.

But Ye Qiu and he had no feelings for each other!
For those in high positions, even if someone says you have designs on them, it's probably just a warning.

Tao Xuan looked at the now much emptier Excellent Era team and suddenly felt that his team probably wouldn't go far in the future.

After all, although Tao Xuan went from being a big boss to running an internet cafe, he didn't have enough time to improve his skills, but he did broaden his horizons.

Tao Xuan understood that since his backer couldn't withstand the Ye family's targeting, there would be no new capital to invest in Excellent Era. Once the backer had sold off everything he could, he would probably withdraw his investment immediately, leaving Tao Xuan with nothing but a mess.

Thinking about this, Tao Xuan felt that he might as well sell his shares first, so that he could get out of trouble sooner.

He plans to open his own internet cafe, form a small esports team, and participate in city leagues whenever possible. If he gets a spot in the challenge tournament, he might even make a comeback, and then he'll be the sole owner.

Thinking of this, Tao Xuan looked at Wang Yue and asked, "Mr. Wang, I remember you acquired shares in several second-tier teams. I wonder if you are interested in the shares of Excellent Era that I hold?"

Seeing Tao Xuan's keen insight, Wang Yue understood why he had achieved what he had.

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "Excellent Era has already sold almost everything; it's just an empty shell now. How much are you planning to sell it to me for?"

Tao Xuan smiled and said, "The name Excellent Era has a different meaning for the game Honor. Even if it's just an empty name, it's still very valuable."

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "Don't try to be clever with me. For Glory, nothing is irreplaceable."

The old dynasty falls, and a new one naturally rises, so this brand isn't as valuable as you might think.

Wang Yue wasn't joking. In his memory, there was once a dynasty club in the LPL. After being eliminated in the second round of the league, they lost the chance to participate in the third round and ended up selling off the entire team, leaving only one player.

As for the so-called glory, only Excellent Era's fans care about it, but even if they do care, it's useless, because at most the fans will buy some related products, which is not enough to support the team's operation.

When Tao Xuan saw that Wang Yue was unwilling to accept it, his initial pride cooled down considerably.

When he let Ye Xiu leave, he thought that in the entire Excellent Era, apart from himself, Tao Xuan, no one else was irreplaceable. But now it seems that even Excellent Era is not irreplaceable, let alone Tao Xuan.

This only made Tao Xuan even more eager to sell his shares, because he had a feeling that Excellent Era's market value might fall even faster than he imagined.

Just as Tao Xuan had predicted, although Excellent Era swept through the City League and qualified for the Challenger Tournament, the moment they lost to Happy's second team, Excellent Era's market value shrank to the level of a second-tier team.

It's just a regular challenge, and the outcome of the match will determine whether you can advance in the future.

But it was this very challenge that completely ruined Excellent Era's future!
By this time, Jia Shi's market value had plummeted to rock bottom. Tao Xuan eventually found Wang Yue and sold the Jia Shi brand to him for 100 million yuan.

Although it was only one million, Tao Xuan only received 10; the rest had to be distributed to the major shareholders.

Tao Xuan fumbled for the Excellent Era sign and said helplessly, "Boss Wang, was this the moment you were waiting for?"

Wang Yue rolled his eyes at Tao Xuan, snatched the sign, and said irritably, "If it weren't for the fact that many of our team members are retired from Excellent Era, I wouldn't even want to look at this sign."

Tao Xuan immediately understood Wang Yue's meaning. Buying this brand was probably just a way to provide a place for the team's retired players to relax and unwind. After all, while the older players couldn't handle the intensity of the league matches, they could still withstand the intensity of the challenge matches.

Considering that Happy had so many players in reserve, Tao Xuan understood that Wang Yue would probably not be investing in just one club in the future.

But that's other people's business. Although Tao Xuan was very envious, he still handed over the signboard, bought a storefront near his home, and opened a large internet cafe.

Tao Xuan is preparing to restart his e-sports career.

While Tao Xuan's team is preparing to rebuild, Happy's team has been advancing triumphantly, and so far they haven't suffered a single defeat.

Of course, the main reason why they haven't lost yet is because they haven't encountered the seven established teams. But Happy's strength has still surprised the entire Honor esports circle and attracted many fans to the Happy team.

In particular, many fans of Excellent Era naturally became fans of Happy after learning that Happy had acquired Excellent Era.

From then on, Team Happy completely replaced Team Excellent Era and became the largest esports club in the city.

Team Happy certainly wouldn't disappoint its fans, and went on a winning streak, not only making it into the playoffs but also sweeping through them to win the league championship in their very first season.

This championship not only made Happy's fans very happy, but also completely solidified Happy's status.

The reason why Team Happy performed so well this time is because of Wang Yue, the swordsman player.

You have to understand that Ye Xiu in the past, his One Autumn Leaf was a fragile character, and his best partner Su Mucheng was also a fragile character. As for his other teammates, they simply couldn't create a good output environment for him.

Ye Xiu not only has to think about how to fight, but also how to command, which is really too tiring.

But things are different now. Wang Yue's swordsman is now in the front line, used to disrupt the opponent's formation and create a favorable environment for Ye Qiu's entry and Su Mucheng's output.

The longer this swordsman survives, the easier it will be for the subsequent damage dealers and Ye Xiu to deal damage, thus greatly increasing the team's chances of winning.

Ordinary swordsmen simply cannot do this; apart from Huang Shaotian of the Blue Rain team, no one else has ever done it.

But now that Wang Yue has joined the team, Ye Xiu has gained a powerful ally, so it's only natural that he's achieved good results.

At this point, those fans of Excellent Era who originally thought Ye Qiu was no good finally realized one thing: it wasn't that their beloved One Autumn Leaf was old, but that One Autumn Leaf had no help.
