be successful or become benevolent

For completely unknown things, Xia Liang will avoid; for clear facts, Xia Liang will make a decision; but it is the gray area between the familiar and the unfamiliar, Xia Liang has the curiosity to find out.

"Your boss?"

Under the ambiguous light of the bar, Xia Liang looked at the Kamon hat and thought, that is just the face of an ordinary person.

The sheepskin curtains were parted.

Xia Liang looked out the window, the gear field was dimly lit, the red and blue battle flags of NPL were hanging on the lampposts, and there were all kinds of pedestrians, gray coats, red scarves, punk jeans, hot pants, all year round.

There are five cards on the table and no wine.

The man was wearing a casual suit, with five slender and neat fingers, and was turning over the cards one by one.

2, A, K, 8, 7;

"Have you ever counted 24 with five cards? Xia Liang."

Xia Liang said, "Hello."

Kamon hat said: "Yeyuan, let me introduce, this is a professional manager, the former deputy manager of ART, Guo Chen."

Xia Liang paused.

"Bring a kerosene lamp over here." Guo Chen's voice was low.

"Okay." Kamon Hat nodded and left.

After turning over the last card, Guo Chen stood up, stretched out his hand to Xia Liang, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I don't have a job right now. Meeting you and me is not considered illegal contact."

After hearing this, Xia Liang shook hands with Guo Chen and moved to sit on the opposite sofa.

Retro kerosene lamps are lit.

With plenty of light, the view from the window disappears.

"Drink the bar? Are you dizzy?" Guo Chen said.

"I didn't drink, maybe the bar is rather stuffy." Xia Liang said cautiously, "Manager Guo, do you have something to ask for me? Or, do you have anything to say to Xianjiao?"

Xia Liang recalled the scene of Kameng Mao chasing Xian Shichu, and remembered that Xian Shichu was once the all-powerful captain of ART, so he guessed from the beginning that Guo Chen's purpose was to contact Xian Shichu through himself.

Naturally, he still doesn't know the specific reason why Xian Shichu left ART, but now he can at least guess one or two points, he thinks, no matter who is right or wrong, this matter must have something to do with the current management of ART.

"Oh? Haha, this has nothing to do with Shi Chu." Guo Chen arranged the five cards according to their size, and said slowly, "You played very thoughtfully in today's match and the day before yesterday's match, and you were single-minded and not single."

Xia Liang said: "My teammates are helping me, but I'm actually still in the debugging stage."

Guo Chen said: "Will KL let you play after you finish debugging?"

Xia Liang said: "I think it will, thank you for your concern."

"That's the point." Guo Chen smiled, took out a blue folder from his purse, and put it on the table, "I care about you, so I don't hesitate to take the risk of violating the rules and tell you about it."

Xia Liang said, "What is this?"

Guo Chen said: "You will know when you open it and take a look."

Xia Liang hesitated for a moment, then picked up the folder.

Inside the folder are a stack of photos and personal information of NCK youth training players, most of which are related to Jin Yanbin, and the time is very recent, ranging from October last year to February this year.

"You live in a besieged city, and you don't know the pros and cons." Guo Chen said, "Jin Yanbin is a seed. Since KL and FG introduced Korean players, the seeds have taken root and sprouted. Now every time he introduces an NCK player to NPL, he will always be in the NPL. There is a good pay, so he puts you on the bench, maybe just keeps you on the bench."

Xia Liang turned two pages and stopped on the paper.

"For an excellent player like you, Yang Miaoyang is willing to give up his iron fist, but I am reluctant." Guo Chen took back the folder, and the five cards have been arranged in groups, 2 and A are together, K, 8, and 7 are together.

（2?1）+（K-8+7）=24；

Xia Liang said: "Manager Guo, if I'm not mistaken, you want to..."

Guo Chen said: "The current situation of ART is not good, and the brain drain is serious. Jiguang's investors intend to reorganize the management and team, and it has already taken shape. Xia Liang, don't miss this opportunity."

Xia Liang was slightly taken aback.

It never occurred to him that Guo Chen's purpose in finding him was to mobilize him for a transfer.

As Guo Chen opened up further, he knew that ART's investor, Aurora Group, would build a battleship composed of top NPL players at any cost. In this bar, many star players have actually secretly agreed.

The new manager will be none other than Guo Chen.

The code name of the battleship is "Qing Yun".

"I will not leave KL."

Xia Liang hardly thought about it, and gave an answer immediately.

His eyes were heavy, and he fell on the king's head on the K card.

Guo Chen said: "You guys are still young, let me explain a little bit more, it's like this, KL's first team substitute can have a basic annual salary of [-] yuan, but only when they hit the starting lineup will they receive various sponsorship endorsements, right? "

Guo Chen observed Xia Liang, and while speaking calmly, he shuffled the five cards that had been divided into groups.

（K-7-2-1）?8=24；

"Don't be nervous, this is not a secret, everyone in the industry knows it, but assuming you play well in the new ART, the price is far from this price, and most importantly, I will directly hire you as the starter."

Xia Liang heard the word "starter".

He couldn't deny it, heart skipped a beat.

But the window glass in front of him was shiny and clean, reflecting the scene inside the bar all the time.

Outside the sheepskin curtain, his teammates were sitting together shaking the dice, drinking cocktails, taking the risk of violating the rules to accompany him to celebrate just two regular season victories, including Ji Tian.

Maybe when the wind blows, his branches and leaves will accidentally touch the fruits of other gardens, but his root system has already been deeply embedded in the soil of KL.

"Manager Guo, don't say any more, I won't leave KL. If you still want to persuade me, I won't accompany you." Xia Liang replied for the second time, "And what you are doing today can be judged as illegal contact. , I have signed a three-year contract with KL, and now is not the transfer period, if you want to talk, you should talk to Manager Yang."

Guo Chen said: "This sentence has treated me badly, Xia Liang, if I hadn't been completely sincere, how dare I invite you to come and play cards in front of your teammates and many club members, separated by a sheepskin curtain?"

At this moment, the sheepskin curtain was raised.

"The tea is here!"

Chu Xunlan rushed in quickly, but the Kamon hat didn't stop her.

Five cards hula fly to two.

Xia Liang was about to leave, but was held back by a cup of warm sobering honey citron tea.

Chu Xunlan looks 20 years old, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt with the broken cocoon LOGO printed on it, the whole body clothing and even the shoes are made of cloth, only a metal necklace is hanging on the chest.

Xia Liang noticed the necklace because it was a limited edition "Compass".

"He is A Lan." Guo Chen said, "My personal assistant."

"Yeyuan, our manager just doesn't know the art of speaking, that's why we were kicked out of ART together with Chuxin." Chu Xunlan said.

Xia Liang said, "Manager Guo, is he really an assistant?"

Guo Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Xunlan.

"That's right, it's guaranteed." Chu Xunlan said, "I don't want to wish overnight, but first of all, I want to congratulate you for breaking Bi Luo's record."

Xia Liang said: "No, no, this time is the basic operation."

Chu Xunlan said: "Why not? In the first round of KTBO1, Xiaolongkeng wave, WQ, AW, REQA, you waited before making a move, just waited for Nanmu's tie-A gap, right?"

Xia Liang was about to pick up the teacup, but put it down again.

For non-professional players, he never asks for understanding, and he can still say ordinary polite words, but this Chu Xunlan...not only is not amateur, but also points out details that the explanations did not pay attention to.

Based on this, Xia Liang felt that this person was a confidant.

Hearing this man's voice again, it seemed familiar again.

Xia Liang said: "Do you also play cocoon breaking?"

Chu Xunlan said: "Fun, they all praised me for my talent. If I wasn't too old, I would have played professionally."

"Hey, Xia Liang, you don't know, what about Ah Lan..."

Guo Chen bent down, picked up the cards, and put them in the drawer.

"Alan was also kicked out. His father heard that he was going to "enter" our e-sports industry. He was so angry, he just cleaned up the door and severed the relationship between father and son, right? "

Chu Xunlan said: "It's okay if people are hard to tear down."

Xia Liang heard about this, so she resorted to the trump card of chatting with non-professional players - put them to death and survive;

"bronze?"

"That's not enough." Chu Xunlan said, "Diamonds."

【..That's not enough, Diamond】

Xia Liang's eyelids twitched.

"What's wrong?" Chu Xunlan said.

"Have we chatted before?" Xia Liang said.

"No." Chu Xunlan said, "Did I have the honor to make you feel like old friends at first sight? That's great!"

"It's a bit." Xia Liang said.

"Fate, since there is fate, let me give you the "compass". "Chu Xunlan said, pulling off the necklace.

"Ah, that can't be done, that can't be done." How could Xia Liang develop into such a situation, and quickly refused.

"Look down on me?" Chu Xunlan said, "You check on the official website, and when you get RMB 999, it is less than half of the bribe standard. This kind of thing is only valuable to those who understand its meaning."

Xia Liang said: "Thank you, let's add a WeChat account, I really can't ask for "Compass". "

……

Chu Xunlan said: "Do you believe in miracles? Yewish."

The flame of the kerosene lamp snorted.

……

Xia Liang said, "What?"

"Battleship Qingyun, you can either succeed or become benevolent." Chu Xunlan said, "I pack up and leave home, and I am ruined. I believe that I can break new ground and contribute a little light and heat to the things I love. From the moment I know you The moment I saw the deeds, I knew that you and I were of the same kind, so I would like to invite you..."

"I'm in a hurry, I made a mistake." Chu Xunlan changed his words, "So I strongly recommend you to Manager Guo, not because of the ranking and statistics, but because of intuition and fate. I take the liberty of giving you this necklace to prove my sincerity. , no matter when you decide to come, no matter how high the transfer fee and signing fee are, Manager Guo is willing to bear it."

Xia Liang looked at Chu Xunlan's eyebrows.

He didn't completely believe the story Chu Xunlan told, but he was familiar with the look of moths flying to the flame.

In Chu Xunlan's confession, the sense of security is not worth mentioning. I would rather learn to enjoy the life of sharp changes, and pursue the fire that may be extinguished at any time.

Xia Liang was a little emotional.

Chu Xunlan is a romantic person.

Xia Liang thought, although Ji Tian told him over and over again to "keep the green hills alive", if one day he had to choose between health and longevity or continuing to compete, he would undoubtedly choose the latter.

Xia Liang's emotions were quietly injected into his mind's comparison and balance between the KL first team and the Qingyun battleship.

"I'm sorry, I've stayed here for too long." Xia Liang settled down, replied for the third time, and pushed away the compass necklace, "Nice to meet you, Brother Lan, but I won't leave KL unless the management rushes I'm going."

Nothing but three.

After drinking the honey citron tea, the wine was almost awake, and Xia Liang's eyes became more and more pure.

"Okay." Guo Chen said, "I'm bothering you, don't worry about it, it's okay."

"Yeah." Xia Liang said.

Chu Xunlan was obviously disappointed, but he didn't say a bad word, and thoughtfully ordered Kameng hat to accompany him.

The nurse waits on the couch.

Summer Cool and Kamon Hat walk through the arched hallway.

"Nightwish, the boss asked, what's your impression of him?" Kamon said casually.

Xia Liang thought for a while, then smiled and said, "A normal manager, but Assistant Lan, who seems to understand my temperament."

Kamon hat raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Xia Liang said, "What's wrong?"

Kamon hat said: "It's nothing, I am ordered by the boss to send you back."

When they returned to the small square table, Nine Cups of Yewish Assassin and Tong Xi's share had already been drunk.

A few mint leaves are scattered in a glass.

Ji Tian lay on the table and counted the dice.

"Ji Shen, where are they?" Xia Liang said.

"You still know that when you come back, everyone can't wait to leave." Ji Tian raised his head, resting his chin.

"Uh……"

"Okay, just kidding, I sent them away." Ji Tian stretched, jumped up, rubbed his teary eyes, and took Xia Liang's wheelchair armrest from the nurse's hand.

"It's been a long time since we took a walk together, let's go around the neighborhood, okay?" Ji Tian asked.

Xia Liang came to his senses and smiled easily.

"Ah."
