Chapter 37

Zhang Chunqiang also looked at Bi Luo Huang Quan, with a ridiculous smile on his face, she couldn't help laughing, she turned her head to one side, and really laughed for a while.When he turned his head around again, the smile disappeared, and he said to Bi Luo Huang Quan extremely indifferently: "How old are you? Stop dreaming, old lady."

Her words hurt Biluo Huangquan to the center of the earth, Biluo Huangquan's face turned red in an instant, wringing his fingers very restlessly, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Chunqiang.

"Let's do something happy during the Chinese New Year." Zhang Chunqiang said again, "I always think about the past, and I tend to have a bad attitude."

"Why are you doing this." Bi Luo Huang Quan said dejectedly, "I'm clearly telling the truth."

Zhang Chunqiang crossed Erlang's legs, propped his elbows on his knees, leaned forward a little, and supported his chin with his palms.But her gaze was not on Biluo Huangquan, but on the street scene outside.The wide road is empty and desolate, and it takes a long time for a car to drive past.

"Maybe memories are beautiful to you, but to me, they are nothing." Zhang Chunqiang said slowly, "My motivation for writing articles was simple, just because I was bored. So I don't have any memories of those days. Filters, even if there are some... it's just nostalgia for everything that happened at that age. But frankly, I really don't feel anything, you know what I mean?"

Some people regard things as treasures, and others regard them as worthless, which in itself is not a fair thing.

"I understand." Biluo Huangquan said, "Similarly, you can't interfere with my thoughts, can you?"

Zhang Chunqiang's eyes wandered over Biluo Huangquan for a few seconds, and finally shrugged.

Li Jiaoyang felt bored, so he spent every day looking for someone to chat with in the WeChat group.But everyone has their own housework, unless he gives a red envelope, no one will jump out to accompany him.Not to mention those programmer brothers and those with families, Tang Xiaohui has been busy with blind dates, and Zhang Chunqiang has to deal with Bi Luo Huang Quan, so he has no intention of doing anything else.As for Shen Yi, he still has so much to make up for, and he will definitely not step out of his house during the Spring Festival.

Mr. Li is very uncomfortable.Of course, it's not because of what's going on in his family.During the Chinese New Year, they also visit their relatives, and when they visit relatives, they will inevitably be asked many questions.Li Chenxing is an old hand, and he is very good at himself, so he dealt with it happily.It turned out that Li Jiaoyang still held the gold medal in his hand when he was in school, what about now?He became Li Chenxing's substitute, a new target in the eyes of the Seventh Aunt and Eight Auntie.

"I really want to cry." Li Jiaoyang kowtowed on Li Chenxing's shoulder.At that time, Li Chenxing was looking for something in the refrigerator in the kitchen, and called Li Jiaoyang behind his back, which startled him. "Brother." Li Jiaoyang said again, "Help me quickly." There was no one else in the kitchen, so he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"How can I save you?" Li Chenxing said to him with a smile, "My ability is only enough to save myself, so please ask for blessings."

Li Jiaoyang asked: "Then how did you resist until now?"

"Because they dare not mess with me." Li Chenxing's tone was very reasonable, "It's not good to mess with the future boss."

"Damn it!" Li Jiaoyang said, "It's not fair."

Li Chenxing said, "Then why don't you come?"

"No, no, I'm not talking about that." Li Jiaoyang is very self-aware, "Let me be the head of the family, I guess our family will have to go out to beg for food before the first month. Hey, I also want to be like you, with no money in hand. It’s not tough enough to speak at home.”

"Then try your best." Li Chenxing snorted Li Jiaoyang's white hair, "Why don't you go out for a walk to get some air? Do you have any money with you? I'll give it to you if it's not enough."

Li Jiaoyang looked at the relatives talking in the living room outside, and sighed: "All right, are you going out with me?"

Li Chenxing nodded: "Okay, let's go for a walk together."

The two brothers went out and walked on the road. Apart from their similar looks, they really had nothing in common. It was even weird to walk together.Li Chenxing is like a domineering boss, wearing a casual suit and a black coat on the outside. Compared with his business appearance at work, he looks more relaxed, but at first glance he is a nobleman.Standing next to his brother, Li Jiaoyang was very killer, wearing a red woolen hat with a supremeboxlogo on his head, a dark supreme astronaut on his body, and a pair of clover sweatpants from some unknown corner. I stepped on a pair of AJs on my feet... Theoretically, it is very fashionable when you take it apart and wear it.

But Li Jiaoyang has the ability to arrange and combine them with amazing aesthetics, and all of them are dressed as foreign trade tails.

Maybe Li Chenxing didn't dislike him and was willing to walk with him.If you want to change to Shen Yi, you must scold him.

As soon as Li Jiaoyang left the gate of the community, he didn't know where he went. Li Chenxing said, "How about I go back and drive and take you shopping?"

"I don't have anything to buy." Li Jiaoyang suddenly realized, "Brother, you don't take anyone out to go shopping, do you? Let me tell you that you won't be able to find girls like this!"

Li Chenxing said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Hey, there's an Internet cafe." Li Jiaoyang changed the subject, "How about we fight landlords online?"

"Do you like playing games?"

"Absolutely." Li Jiaoyang said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, it's open here. Why don't we go? I'll show you the world of young people. Let's go!" He said nothing. Follow Li Chenxing to cross the road.Li Jiaoyang is a special dish for playing games, but sometimes he is addicted, a bit like a stinky chess basket.What he said is right, there are no people anywhere during the Chinese New Year, and there is still a bit of popularity in Internet cafes. Most of them are young people who are avoiding family burdens and come out to breathe.

The young girl at the front desk was a little surprised that these two people entered the Internet cafe. The main reason was that Li Chenxing's temperament was too inconsistent with the Internet cafe. He didn't seem to be here to play games online, but rather to discuss acquisitions.

"Turn on two machines." Li Jiaoyang looked back and saw that there were quite a few people inside. There was a projector in the innermost part, and there was a game screen on the wall, and there were people watching on the side. There were two glass rooms on one side, and there were people inside. .He asked the girl at the front desk: "Is there any event today?"

"It's a small competition in our Internet cafe." The girl at the front desk explained.

"Hey! Are you still organizing a competition during Chinese New Year?" Li Jiaoyang asked with a smile, "How is it? Is anyone coming? Won't you go home?"

The little girl at the front desk didn't bother to talk to him, and thought his question was an amateur, so she said casually, "Why is there no one? Aren't they all human? There are too many people who can't play professionally and are addicted to competitions." Turned on the machine, "C5C6, over there." Pointing, Li Jiaoyang looked over there.Li Chenxing thanked the girl at the front desk very politely. The girl at the front desk didn't even dare to look at him, her head stuck behind the monitor, but she couldn't bear to look at Li Chenxing, and sneaked a peek at him through the monitor.

Li Jiaoyang's position was far away from the crowd. As soon as he sat down, the game over there ended for one round, everyone dispersed, and only the players who played in the glass room came out.The winning side naturally cheered and went to receive the bonus, while the losing side was also very depressed, talking to each other about where the fight was not good just now, who had problems starting the team, and so on.As they spoke, their voices became louder and louder, as if they were about to quarrel.

"All of you shrink back and dare not go up, and you are relying on me to advance too much?" A young voice suddenly raised his voice, "Is my C good?"

The voice was very familiar, and Li Jiaoyang habitually looked back.Looking through the crowd, he caught a shadow.

"Tong Yu?" Li Jiaoyang called out.

Li Chenxing asked, "Do you know each other?"

"Did you forget?" Li Jiaoyang said, "The kids in my company, haven't you seen them before?"

Li Chenxing shook his head: "Forgot." He really wouldn't be impressed by innocuous characters.

"Why did the dead child come here?" Li Jiaoyang muttered and walked over to help Tong Yu out. He felt that if he didn't come to help Tong Yu, he would definitely have to fight.

"Why is it you?" Tong Yu also looked at Li Jiaoyang in surprise.

"I'm here to meet relatives." Li Jiaoyang pointed with his chin to the boys who had just quarreled with Tong Yu, "Your friend?"

"I don't know." Tong Yu said with a gloomy face, "I just met the field team."

"Oh." Li Jiaoyang smiled and said to the other party, "I'm sorry, my little brother likes to bicker because he is not very sensible, so don't take it too seriously. Happy New Year, have a good time!" pulled away.It is said that if you don't reach out and hit the smiling person, no matter how angry those people are, they can't get angry at Li Jiaoyang, so they have to give up and admit that it's bad luck.

Li Jiaoyang turned on another machine for Tong Yu beside him, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Play in the Internet cafe competition." Tong Yu said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do during the Chinese New Year. If you win, you will get a bonus."

Li Jiaoyang said: "Aren't you burying me? Didn't you get bonuses for the Chinese New Year?"

Tong Yu turned her head away: "Who would think too much money?"

"Then where's your money?" Li Jiaoyang asked.

"Borrower." Tong Yu said nonsense.

"Borrowed from whom?"

"..." Tong Yu stopped talking.

Li Chenxing said at this time: "If you want to chat, I know there is a good cafe nearby, and it should still be open. Why don't you go to another place? This is really not a good place to chat, it's too messy."

Li Jiaoyang thought about it for a while, he thought Tong Yu was not quite right, the flames of gossip blazed up, he grabbed Tong Yu and went out, anyway, he still had his brother to pay the bill.

Gossip is actually not counted, Li Jiaoyang just felt that this child was brought by himself, he was more or less like an old father, and Tong Yu obviously had something to hide from him, so he was a little unhappy.

I didn't think carefully about what my position is, what qualifications I have to be unhappy.Once Li Jiaoyang became enthusiastic, he was very unobtrusive.

"Let's talk." The three of them arrived at the cafe together. There were only two shop assistants on duty, and it was very cold.Li Chenxing went to order, leaving Li Jiaoyang interrogating Tong Yu.

"What did I say?" Tong Yu asked impatiently.

At this moment, Li Chenxing came back with his things, he put them down lightly, and asked before Li Jiaoyang could speak, "Do you like playing games?"

Tong Yu rolled her eyes: "Nonsense."

"You should be playing well, right?" Li Chenxing didn't express any displeasure at Tong Yu's impolite attitude, but always smiled and was very friendly.

Li Jiaoyang said: "He plays really well, at least no one in our company can beat him."

"How many people are there in your company?" Li Chenxing said with a smile.

"He's also very high-ranking!" Li Jiaoyang said, "He often takes care of all four legs at once."

Li Chenxing pointed at Tong Yu with his chin, his habit was exactly the same as that of Li Jiaoyang: "Let him speak for himself."

"It's average." At this time, Tong Yu lost the arrogance just now, and suddenly became a little disappointed, "It's not very good."

"I don't understand games." Li Chenxing said, "However, some friends are involved in the game circle. In the past two years, the e-sports industry has also been a hot spot for investment, and I have learned a little bit about it. You come to the Internet cafe to play games, you should not Is it just for money? Do you simply like games? Or do you want to play professionally? Why don't you tell me, in case someone can help?"

Li Jiaoyang stared at his brother dumbfounded. Who really could pretend to be aggressive to a circle he didn't understand so confidently?

Sure enough, after listening to Li Chenxing's words, Tong Yu's eyes shone with some light, but the light was fleeting and dimmed again.He lowered his head and whispered, "No, I'm still too good."

"Wow, you're the only one who returns the food?" Li Jiaoyang said in surprise, "Aren't we a tiankeng?"

Tong Yu said, "What do you think?"

"Don't talk like that." Li Jiaoyang covered his heart, "Mom will be sad."

"You're not finished yet!"

Li Jiaoyang couldn't stop once the scene started, pointing at Li Chenxing and said to Tong Yu, "Call me Uncle."

Tong Yu couldn't laugh or cry because of Li Jiaoyang, her face turned red and she said loudly, "Go to hell!"

"Come on." Li Chenxing said, "You should talk about your business."

Tong Yu took a breath, and said slowly, "Actually, I...was playing professionally."

"Ah?" This incident made Li Jiaoyang's mouth wide open in surprise, and even Li Chenxing raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tong Yu's experience is very similar to that of most professional players. They all started from loving games, and then had a professional dream, so they stepped into the professional circle despite everything.It's just that, unlike most professional players, Tong Yu chose a more direct method, and directness is precisely the most unacceptable method for parents.

His academic performance is very good, playing games has never delayed him, and he has been playing during the three days before the college entrance examination, and his college entrance examination results are enough for him to choose any famous university in Beijing or Shanghai.In fact, he did the same, but one month after the start of the university, he suddenly told his family that going to school was boring and he wanted to play games and become a professional player.

This shock was a big blow to his parents, Tong Yu didn't take it seriously.It doesn't matter whether he is young and frivolous or a sophomore, he is determined to become a professional e-sports player.

Persuasion by parents and teachers was useless. At that time, Tong Yu’s heart was higher than the sky. He felt that he was very good.In his conception, he would first go to Shanghai to find a wealthy team, and then debut as the rookie king in the first season. From now on, his career path would be flat, until he won the world championship.

What a beautiful dream it is!

But the shattering of this dream has been foreshadowed since the moment Tong Yu set foot on the beach.

His project is dota2. Although the annual TI event has a very high degree of attention, it is not a hot and explosive game. The general public's attention to dota2 is only limited to the super high prize money and championship glory of the annual event. Nothing else.Therefore, Tong Yu has little choice.

After going around for about two months, Tong Yu did not enter a rich team as he wished, but went to a mid-level team to play as a substitute.Said it was a substitute, but the main players were in their prime, so he could only watch the water cooler every day.He can follow in domestic competitions, big and small, but he doesn't have much chance to play.

If you can't play the game, then you are not a professional player, and you are just deceiving yourself with a name.

It's not that Tong Yu never thought about fighting for a chance for himself, but he couldn't.He had always thought that he was very good, and the invitations from some unknown small teams made him feel even more capable to enter the professional circle.No one can beat him in school, and there are few opponents in the Internet cafes around him, and he can often chat and laugh with some great masters on the ladder.So he was able to resolutely run away from home with thousands of dollars to pursue his dream.

But what?What can this mean?

Looking at how many strong opponents he has never encountered in China, how many gods and ghosts are there in the whole world that he has never seen before?

And a career is not only glory and glory, but more pain and pressure.High-intensity training will consume a young body, and the ups and downs of the game and the discussion of the audience will destroy a person's mind.If you can win a championship, all these will seem worthless.But since the beginning of the e-sports industry, how many people have won the world championship trophy in all sports combined?

Too little, more of them left the scene sadly, lost in the long river of time, and even a name will not be remembered from now on.

The darkness behind those honors was never imagined by Tong Yu. He devoted himself to this industry only with enthusiasm and passion, but was hit to the bottom by reality.

The reality told him that the most indispensable thing in this industry is young geniuses, and Tong Yu is just a mortal with high-sighted eyes, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to work hard.

His career did not bring him any happiness, only despair and confusion.
