Chapter 189: Name in Memory
The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. This wasn't going to work! They had to ask something, or else their wages would be docked.
A reporter from a local magazine in Q City mustered up the courage to raise his hand, and Tyranny's manager was overjoyed and immediately invited him to ask questions.
Finally, someone's willing to break the deadlock! Sure enough, having connections among journalists is always a good way to get things done!
"Um... may I ask where has Captain Guo been all these years?" Although the young reporter was asking Guo Mingyu a question, he kept glancing at Han Wenqing.
He was still a little afraid of being scolded by Captain Han.
This question was obviously quite normal. Guo Mingyu smiled and said, "It seems that everyone pays more attention to me than to Lao Lin."
Lin Jingyan smiled cooperatively and said, "After all, you've been missing for so many years, and you suddenly made a comeback. Even I'm curious!"
"Actually, I went abroad right after I retired." Guo Mingyu said casually, "Oh, by the way, I also paid back the money I owed Ye Qiu! Including the principal and interest. The interest was extremely high. Let me show you the transfer records..."
As he spoke, he also pulled up the transfer records, and everyone laughed in agreement. After all, this joke was one of the unsolved mysteries of Honor, and today they finally got the answer.
Guo Mingyu's jokes relaxed the originally tense atmosphere a little.
"Well, may I ask, you have been retired for so many years, how are you maintaining your form?" a reporter raised his hand and asked.
"That's not bad. After all, we don't know how to do anything except playing games." Guo Mingyu smiled. "I've been participating in various competitions for a foreign club and have maintained my form quite well. Otherwise, the Korean team wouldn't have invited me, right?"
"Oh? From what you mean, are you confident that you can win the championship with Tyranny?" A female reporter quickly raised her hand.
"No one knows the outcome until the very last moment, but our goal is undoubtedly the same," Guo Mingyu said seriously. "Isn't it fair to say that everyone's goal is the trophy?"
"Have you encountered any interesting things in the Glory Alliance abroad?"
Guo Mingyu thought for a moment and laughed, "I wonder if Ye Qiu is watching the live broadcast. Actually, this matter is related to him. Wu Xuefeng is married, and his child can already speak."
Wu Xuefeng? Who is that?
The reporters were all a little confused. The one related to Ye Qiu was... Wu Xuefeng?
"The first generation user of Qi Chong Yun Shui?" An older reporter remembered an ancient name.
But, wasn't this guy a nobody in Team Excellent Era back then? Is it necessary to mention him specifically?
"That guy..." Old Wei sighed.
" Furious?" Chen Guo was a little confused. As a former loyal fan of Excellent Era, there were people she had forgotten.
Ye Xiu lit a cigarette, seemingly lost in memories. Chen Guo didn't disturb him, but instead turned her inquiring gaze to the veterans Wei Chen and Zhang Jiale standing beside him.
"He's a very powerful guy." Zhang Jiale sighed. "The previous captain of Baihua kept emphasizing that I should be careful of him. I didn't take him seriously at the time, and then I suffered a great loss."
"He is a guy who really relies on his brain instead of his hands to play the game. Maybe that's why he is in better shape than me even though he is older than me." Lao Wei also shook his head.
"Yeah, he's a good guy . He's married, which is pretty good." Ye Xiu smiled. "Looks like I should ask Lao Guo for that guy's contact information when I get a chance!"
Bai Mo seemed to have recalled something, but the other members of Xingxin team all looked confused, as if they had never even heard of the name.
The press conference continued. When asked why he didn't return to Royal Wind, Guo Mingyu simply smiled and shook his head. "Tian Sen is a very talented player, and more responsible than I am. Royal Wind's hopes should be placed on him, not me... and I also want to pursue the things I've always wanted."
Champion, and only champion!
"Then, Captain Lin...you..." a reporter asked hesitantly.
Lin Jingyan smiled modestly. His personality and playing style were two extremes.
To be honest, the Howling Team did not make it to the playoffs, and he, as the captain, was to blame. The strength of the Howling Team was definitely not bad, with two All-Star players, and the newcomers in the team were also very strong.
But, they still lost, which really does not live up to the strong strength that Howling had on paper...
All kinds of sarcasm and ridicule came pouring in, most of which came from fans of the team, who said that the position should be given to more capable young people. Even some rational fans said that the player should continue to contribute to the team as a substitute instead of monopolizing the position.
What's worse, some people described Lin Jingyan as a cancer.
Lin Jingyan has been playing professional games for seven years, but he has never even won the runner-up, which makes him feel a little unwilling.
He was willing to give up the captain's position and continue to fight as a main player, but what disappointed him was that the top management of Howling did not seem to have such an idea.
The club has not made any clear statement regarding Lin Jingyan's public or private remarks.
They had already made the decision, and this attitude was just a hint. After all, they didn't want to embarrass Lin Jingyan too much.
After Han Wenqing invited Lin Jingyan, the club actually breathed a sigh of relief and held a large-scale farewell party. They also gave the green light to Tyranny in terms of price, and finally transferred to Tyranny for one million.
Basically, it's a free gift...
"I chose to join Tyranny, definitely not to retire here. I am confident that I can still contribute to the team. If the team needs me, I am ready to go into battle at any time." Lin Jingyan said gently.
The reporters were all silent. Such remarks... were even a little too humble.
Han Wenqing, who had been silent the entire time, took the microphone from Guo Mingyu. "Lin Jingyan is a vital component of Team Tyranny's next season. The club is developing a new rogue character specifically for him. We invited Lin Jingyan to join for one purpose: to win the championship."
Everyone has asked enough questions, so let's end today's press conference here."
After saying this, Han Wenqing placed the microphone on the table and stood up to leave. This was supposed to be a manager's job, but Han Wenqing took it without any sense of incongruity.
"Tsk, this is the gentleness that is unique to Han Wenqing, right?" Old Wei sneered.
Whether it was attending the press conference or what he said just now, it was all to protect the two veterans who had just joined!
“This guy…” Ye Xiu also smiled and shook his head: “But, we’re going to be in trouble…”
"Ah? Brother Ye, you're thinking too far ahead, aren't you? We haven't entered the professional league yet?" Bai Mo was stunned.
"Well, although it's right to prepare for a rainy day, isn't it a little early?" Chen Guo reminded cautiously.
"There's competition right now..." Ye Xiu was speechless: "Have you forgotten about the boss..."
"Depend on!"
