King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

The plane landed slowly, and the Chongqing Wolves team members, wearing masks, mingled with passersby and quickly checked in and left.

The first thing Li Luo did after getting off the plane was to send the public relations document he had written on the plane to the Wolves' operations department, so that they could release it through the Wolves' official account.

Such documents are more authentic.

Since it's an official announcement from the club, fans are more likely to accept it.

Then he called his usual restaurant, reserved a private room, and ordered a few signature dishes to give Ye Lan a simple welcome.

Based on Ye Lan's current attitude, she definitely won't stay with the Wolves for long.

If Xiaopang's performance remains sluggish after the Spring Split ends, he will have no choice but to let the substitutes integrate with the main players or look for a new jungler.

A professional player whose performance is inconsistent is like a tiger without fangs; it's just scary to look at.

After Li Luo sent Ye Lan a message about the restaurant, the group took a taxi to the restaurant.

Standing at the entrance of the "Food is Heaven" restaurant, Li Luo's eyes were somewhat dazed.

I remember when their club first came to Shanghai for a competition, they chose "Shi Wei Tian" restaurant for their get-together, and they've kept that tradition ever since.

When you arrive in Shanghai, have a good meal first; when you leave Shanghai, have a good meal too.

The group walked towards the restaurant one after another, leaving only Little Fatty outside.

He looked up at the familiar restaurant sign and felt a wave of disappointment wash over him.

"It's possible... I'll never have the chance to fight alongside my teammates again."

Thinking of this, Little Fatty's eyes welled up with tears.

Fly walked in front, while Kexin stayed on Little Fatty the whole time.

Looking around, and noticing that Little Fatty hadn't followed, I quickly turned back and found Little Fatty standing there.

He waved to the other person repeatedly, "Little Fatty, what are you standing there for? Come on in!"

Hearing the captain's call, Little Fatty took a breath and forced a smile onto his chubby cheeks. "Coming, Captain."

Li Luo had made a reservation in advance, and being a regular customer, the group quickly arrived at a spacious and bright private room. The owner personally greeted them, smiling and saying:

"The food is ready. Shall we serve it now or wait a moment?"

Yao Dao rubbed his empty, hungry stomach and urged the owner, "Everyone's here, what are we waiting for? Just bring the dishes up."

"Okay." Just as the boss was about to call the waiter to serve the food, Li Luo grabbed his arm.

"Please wait a little while, our main guest hasn't arrived yet. We'll serve the dishes when he gets here."

"Okay, the food is ready anyway. Just let me know when you arrive." The owner gave a few words of advice and then went back to the kitchen to get busy.

There were only a few Wolves players in the private room, and the atmosphere was terribly oppressive. Everyone was standing in their seats, and no one sat down.

Just now, Li Luo mentioned a guest player, and although he didn't mention his name, everyone has already guessed that the other party is here to replace Xiao Pang in the starting jungle position.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads slightly, looking at the chubby boy with heartache.

The other party remained calm and composed, as if they had known this would happen or had no idea what was about to happen.

Although everyone had some reservations about Xiaopang's performance before the Spring Split, after spending so much time together, everyone felt a little reluctant to see each other go.

Li Luo glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone, please don't stand up. Sit down and have some tea."

Upon hearing this, everyone took their seats.

The coach has complete control over the team, and even if the players collectively object, it has no effect.

The six people remained silent after taking their seats. Little Fatty stared blankly at the yellowish-green tea in his cup.

"Ahem, Little Fatty, you should know what I'm going to say to you, right?" Li Luo cleared his throat.

Xiao Pang put down his tea and silently lowered his head. "I know, my recent performance in the games has been terrible. I'm sorry to the coach and my teammates."

After hearing Xiao Pang's apology, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief. If Xiao Pang had insisted, he really wouldn't have known what to say.

After all, the other party was a "veteran" member of the Wolves, and his own seniority in the Wolves was far inferior to that of the other party.

If the two really have a conflict, the fan base will definitely support the chubby guy more.

Li Luo realized that she couldn't afford to say anything wrong, so she paused for a moment to think of the right words before slowly speaking.

"Little Fatty, this guy won't take your starting jungle position. He's just here to help us in the Spring Split. He'll probably leave after the season, so you don't need to worry at all."

"As long as you can get back to your previous game state, the starting jungler position will still be yours."

Upon hearing this, Little Fatty took a sip of tea and nodded silently, "Coach, I understand."

"It's good to know, it's good to know."

Li Luo smiled and nodded, feeling relieved.

Dealing with such veteran members is really difficult to handle.

Fortunately, they managed to calm Little Fatty down.

Just then, the door creaked open, and Ye Lan walked in with a big smile on her face.

He looked at the empty dining table, turned to Li Luo, and said with dissatisfaction, "Coach, there's not a single dish. Is this how you hold a welcome ceremony for me?"

"You didn't say when it would arrive. What if it gets cold? Waiter, bring the food!" Li Luo hurriedly waved to the waiter.

Ye Lan looked around and did not sit in the main seat, but instead sat next to Little Fatty.

His arrival enlivened the atmosphere, and everyone started chatting and joking as if nothing had happened.

The dishes were quickly served by the waiter. Li Luo's hospitality was truly exceptional, with three hot pots, a soup, and six hot dishes, a truly generous spread.

Moreover, the dishes tasted great, were appetizing and went well with rice, and were simply flawless.

As a new member, Ye Lan naturally received a warm welcome from the veteran members.

Everyone raised their glasses to toast him.

Ye Lan accepted all the drinks offered, downing one cup after another.

The food at this restaurant was pretty good, but the drinks were mediocre. They were spicy and even a seasoned drinker like Ye Lan couldn't stand them, let alone anyone else.

The Wolves members also found the baijiu unpleasant to drink, taking only a small sip before refusing to drink any more.

Everyone was offering toasts, except for Little Fatty.

He sat beside Ye Lan, head down, eating, silent as a mute, not uttering a single word from beginning to end.

After a satisfying meal, the Wolves team prepared to return to their hotel to rest.

"You guys go ahead, I'll sit here and sober up for a bit," Ye Lan waved to the others.

Seeing that the little fat boy was still eating, Li Luo simply put her coat on the back of the chair and said, "Then I'll go get some water first."

"Me too, me too."

"Wait for me, I'll go too."

..........

One after another, soon only Ye Lan and Xiao Pang remained in the private room.

Ye Lan suddenly grabbed the little fat boy's arm, startling the latter who was enjoying his meal.

Looking up, I saw the other person say with a serious expression:

Why do you want to learn my playing style?
