Chapter 158 Xiao Shiqin's Rejection
Thunder Club
"I'm sorry, Boss Tao... After careful consideration, I still want to stay in Thunder and work hard with everyone." Xiao Shiqin said apologetically.
Even though he said this, Xiao Shiqin couldn't help but think of the phone call Liu Hao had made to him a few days ago...
Liu Hao: "Hey, Captain Xiao, it's me!"
Xiao Shiqin: "Deputy Captain Liu? It's so late...I wonder if there's anything you need?"
Liu Hao: "Nothing much, I just wanted to ask Captain Xiao what he thinks. Maybe we could be teammates in the future!"
Xiao Shiqin: "I'm still considering it... Anyway, I've played well in every game I'm in for the Thunder, right?"
Liu Hao: "That's a great point, Captain Xiao. If you can join us , we'll definitely be able to defeat Ye Qiu's grassroots team! Even with Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen joining us..."
Xiao Shiqin: "Wait, you just said... Zhang Jiale and Wei Chen, right?"
Liu Hao: "Ah? Don't you know yet... Sorry, sorry, I spoke too much. Please don't tell anyone else this news!"
Xiao Shiqin certainly knew that Liu Hao had ulterior motives, but he had to admit that Liu Hao's words did reveal a lot of useful information.
After arranging the tactics for Excellent Era's games this season after Ye Qiu's departure, Xiao Shiqin had done some simple research. The various mysterious operations made even this master of tactics a little confused.
Not to mention the confusing individual and arena competitions, the team competition had five people, but they were forcibly divided into three small groups. This made Xiao Shiqin extremely speechless. It was no wonder that such a team was eliminated...
As for Liu Hao, he does have some tricks up his sleeve. While Sun Xiang may be the captain on paper, this Vice Captain Liu has completely sidelined him. There were rumors that Ye Qiu was forced out by Liu Hao, and Xiao Shiqin initially scoffed at the idea. Now that he thinks about it, it's probably not groundless...
The reason for the previous phone call was probably because he was worried that my joining Jia Shi would affect his status?
However, if it was Ye Xiu and Zhang Jiale, plus a veteran with abundant experience, and a Moriarty who didn't know his limits...
What on earth was Liu Hao thinking? Did he really want Excellent Era to be annihilated?
Xiao Shiqin sighed. What he didn't know was that because of the previous bounty order incident, this guy went to the boss's office to be scolded and accidentally heard the idea of using him to exchange for Xiao Shiqin, so that phone call happened.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Tao Xuan hadn't expected that after waiting for so long, he would get such a result.
After exchanging a few more polite greetings, Xiao Shiqin hung up the phone.
After a long sigh, Xiao Shiqin walked into the bathroom and washed his face to make himself feel more refreshed.
I can’t think about other things anymore. I’ll study reincarnation carefully later to see how I can gain a chance of victory!
I need to think carefully about whether there are any other loopholes...
Xiao Shiqin put on his glasses, his eyes became sharper, and he turned and left the bathroom.
"Captain...you..." Dai Yanqi was waiting outside the bathroom and asked worriedly.
"Oh? Xiao Dai... huh? You guys, why are you all here? Why aren't you going to practice?" Xiao Shiqin frowned.
"I just came out to buy some water and accidentally overheard the captain's phone call..." Fang Xuecai scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and then asked cautiously: "Captain, you... refused? Why?"
"Alright, focus on preparing for the competition! Have you finished practicing those two plans?" Xiao Shiqin said unhappily, "Hurry up and get ready! The competition is about to start, what a mess!"
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the training room.
The Thunder players looked at each other in confusion. Captain, you're not leaving?
But……
Not only was there joy, but there was also regret for Xiao Shiqin. As one of the four "hearts" of Glory, Xiao Shiqin was not on a top team like the other three, and he also did not win a championship.
Even his teammates felt deeply sorry for it. When they learned that Jia Shi had contacted the captain, although they were reluctant, they were still happy for Xiao Shiqin.
But...what happened?
The Thunder's main players looked at each other, without any clue, and could only smile helplessly and follow their captain's footsteps.
Although we are a weak team and we don’t have another All-Star player besides the captain, as long as the captain is still there, we will still be a strong team that no one can underestimate!
For the captain, and for myself...
Excellent Era Club
Tao Xuan looked at his phone silently for a long time. He also couldn't understand why Xiao Shiqin could reject his conditions.
A sky-high transfer fee was paid to acquire Sheng Lingmie. Once he arrived, he would be the vice-captain of the team. All the resources of Jia Shi could be used by him, and even the nominal captain Sun Xiang had to obey his orders.
Originally, Xiao Shiqin was already very tempted, and it had only been a few days...why?
Could it be that... he knew about Ye Qiu's situation? Impossible. I shouldn't have told anyone about this except Cui Li.
Although Cui Li was a little bit stupid, he was loyal enough, and Tao Xuan was still very relieved about this.
Tao Xuan racked his brains and couldn't figure out why. It was simply because Liu Hao had heard his entire phone call ... and this guy only cared about himself, never considering the collective or honor...
"Boss... Xiao Shiqin, did you refuse?" Cui Li looked at Tao Xuan's changing expression and asked cautiously.
"Well, rejected..." Tao Xuan nodded expressionlessly: "You should be able to ensure that no one knows about Ye Qiu's news, right?"
“This… Actually, many people within the Jia Dynasty have already begun to speculate about Jun Moxiao’s identity…” Cui Li sweated profusely.
"Get ready for the PR activities," Tao Xuan said.
"What about Xiao Shiqin..."
"He's not the only tactician." Tao Xuan sneered.
Cui Li felt a little embarrassed. It was true that there was more than just Xiao Shiqin, but how was he going to dig out the other three?
The first one, Ye Qiu, was passed immediately. The remaining two were Zhang Xinjie, the Shibuzhuan from Tyranny, Excellent Era's sworn enemy, and Yu Wenzhou, the captain of Team Blue Rain... They had to be idiots to transfer to Excellent Era for a season of Challengers League action...
Looking at Cui Li's expression, Tao Xuan sneered, "If we can't find it in China, then we can't find it abroad?"
“You mean…” Cui Li’s eyes lit up.
"Don't worry about this matter. I'll handle it. You just need to make sure there is no other negative information about Excellent Era." Tao Xuan looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside the window.
Ye Qiu, old. Zhang Jiale, a player who also retired a year ago. Wei Chen... oh, an old guy. And that Moriarty...
What do you have to fight against us, Jia Shi?
