Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 229: Trident and Halberd
IM E-sports Club is located in a remote small building in Shanghai. Although the location is remote, the monthly rent easily exceeds five figures in Shanghai where every inch of land is valuable.
In addition to the rent, the cook and cleaning staff are all regular staff, not to mention the high-configuration equipment and the salary expenses of an entire team.
Even though IM is already a team that has entered the top national league, it is still in a state of pure loss, but these are naturally not issues that the players need to consider.
Ever since this group of young guys successfully brought the IM Club into the LPL, the big boss Zhou Dongsheng showed them what it means to be rich and inhumane.
Not only did they receive a large cash reward, but they also had no right to use the bonus at their own discretion. At the age of 17 or 18, their income even exceeded that of their family members.
Following the boss's advice, many people chose to remit a large sum of money to their families, proudly stating that it was the prize money they won from the competition and the reward from their boss.
The nature of the vast majority of Chinese people is still very pragmatic. Being able to make money means having a bright future. If you can earn so much money while your peers are still in school, then what else do you need a bicycle for?
After getting the understanding and support of my family, my worries were resolved, and at the same time, my inhumane boss fulfilled his promise.
Not only did we move to such a comfortable residence, but we also had a cook to cook for us, the accommodation and food were good, and we even felt full of energy during our daily training.
For a group of "Internet-addicted teenagers", such a life is simply their dream. What else could they ask for?
I had no way to vent my inner gratitude, so I could only repay my boss with good results. Not only did I get off to a successful start in my debut, but I also won one and lost one in the next two games.
Although the summer season has just begun, it is quite rare for a newly promoted team to achieve such results. After all, in the perception of most people, newly promoted teams are equated with "experienced babies" .
Upon learning that the big boss would come to the club today, a group of young guys were ready for action. Some even broke their biological clocks and got up early to start training, but they were all absent-minded.
"Hey, why hasn't the boss come yet? I should have slept a little longer. I'm so sleepy after playing rank for the whole morning." Gao Zhenning said with a yawn.
"Do you think the boss is as idle as us? He probably took time out of his busy schedule to come here. We just have to wait." Shi Shenming, a mature young man, said with a grin.
"I'm so envious of you guys because you can play in the game. I have to wait two years before I can play. It's so painful. I wonder if my boss will abandon me?" Yu Wenbo complained tearfully .
Sitting next to the computer on the other side was a young man who looked out of place. He was concentrating on playing the game and was very involved.
It's not that he doesn't want to integrate into the group, it's just that his Chinese level is still half-baked. Although he has laid a certain foundation in the WE team before, there are still certain obstacles in communication.
In his professional career, Jiang Chenglu's experience is somewhat similar to Yu Wenbo's. Due to age issues, he was unable to play and was loaned by WE to a team in the Korean secondary league at the beginning of the year to play games. He made his professional debut, but was limited by the team's strength and stopped in the top 16.
He was then bought by IM from WE and came to this unfamiliar environment to adapt himself again, although he still could not play in the game.
But for Jiang Chenglu who has a professional dream, as long as there is a team that wants him, he believes that as long as he trains diligently enough, there will always be a chance for him to play in the future.
What's more, the team environment of IM Club is much better than that of WE. Although WE is one of the ancient wealthy clubs, it is also notoriously "poor".
"I just got here and I heard you saying bad things about me. How could I not want a talented young man like you?" Zhou Dongsheng walked in with a smile on his face, followed by Li Jiana and Liu.
Upon learning that Zhou Dongsheng was coming to the IM Club, Liu naturally rushed over without stopping.
"Hehe, although you can't play in the game for the time being, you are also the anchor of the boss's company, and your popularity is not low. How could they not want you?" Liu agreed with a smile.
" Hey, boss, why did you suddenly show up? I was just joking." 15-year-old Yu Wenbo smiled shyly.
The eyes of all the young men were focused on Zhou Dongsheng involuntarily. There was a sense of familiarity in their eyes. Their favorable impression of this rich and inhumane boss was immediately maxed out.
"I heard that you guys performed well in recent games. I happen to have nothing to do today, so I'll treat you guys out for a nice meal later." Zhou Dongsheng began his daily behavior of improving his favorability.
"Long live the boss!"
The group of young people also cheered and shouted excitedly, but there was only one shy boy who seemed out of place. The unfamiliar environment and language made it difficult for him to adapt.
Zhou Dongsheng looked around and found that he had collected three components of the champion trident, two halberd tips and one halberd handle. As for which one was the halberd handle, there was no need for me to say more.
When Zhou Dongsheng saw the shy brother who was still a little immature, his eyes lit up. He walked up to him in three or two steps and greeted him in Korean.
"Aniayasayo!" Zhou Dongsheng has a basic understanding of Korean because he often watches the live broadcast of a certain monkey and went to Korea a while ago.
Li Jiana, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile as she listened to Zhou Dongsheng's poor Korean, and stepped forward to translate for the two of them.
When Jiang Chenglu learned that the young man in front of him who looked as young as himself was his boss, he was slightly surprised and quickly stood up and bowed to greet him.
"Boss, this is Nihao." After all, Jiang Chenglu had worked in WE for a period of time before, so it should be no problem for him to say hello to the boss.
"Xiao Jiang, you have to study Chinese well. You will have to communicate with your teammates when you play in the game in the future, right?" Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Jiligua..." Jiang Chenglu promised seriously.
"He said he would study hard and would not let his boss down, and that he would perform well if ." Li Jiana translated, and they were all polite words.
"Just focus on training well. There will definitely be a place for you in the team in the future. This is my promise to you." Zhou Dongsheng smiled and fed Jiang Chenglu a piece of cake.
After the translation, Jiang Chenglu smiled shyly and nodded happily.
With the boss Zhou Dongsheng's public statement, the young contestants looked at each other, and their hearts were as clear as a mirror.
Although they are young, they are not stupid. Since the boss values this player so much, they will not risk their jobs and choose to go against the boss.
In the future, they will naturally choose to get along well with this teammate. After all, this teammate, like Yu Wenbo, will not be able to play in the short term, and is even less likely to threaten their starting position.
"Does the team have a Korean translator? If not, we need to assign one to help Xiao Jiang master Chinese as quickly as possible and lay a good foundation for communication in future competitions. Maybe we will have other Korean players on our team in the future."
Zhou Dongsheng turned his head and asked casually, thinking in his heart how to get the most important tip in the middle of the trident.
After all, a complete trident needs a long period of running-in before it can be effective , and the sooner the better.
The tacit understanding between the team members requires long-term cooperation to be reflected.
The most important point is that this last contestant not only has strong personal strength and excellent Chinese proficiency, but can also connect the entire team together very well.
At the same time, it can also play the role of a leader.
But now the season has just begun, it won’t be too late to ask Principal Wang for money after the season ends. Anyway, three have been snatched, so it won’t be too much to snatch one more.
After all, his team really needs a veteran to take charge. Based on the friendship between the two, Principal Wang can't just sit back and do nothing.
