Reemployment Guide for Laid-off Players

Now Jiang An and Xia Yao have started to have a dedicated screen recording team for their sparring sessions every day and then upload them to the video site.This was the first thing Jiang Le saw. After Jiang An saw it, he directly took it to the second team for replay commentary.

The two of them competed with each other with different martial art professions. Tonight Xia Yao used a output of Bi Xin. Jiang An typed and asked him: When did you practice Bi Xin?

Xia Yao probably wanted to avenge Jiang An's "revenge" for not organizing an arrangement, so he directly responded with a smiling face in the chat channel, without saying anything else, Jiang An unconsciously smiled in front of the camera.

After this BO3 match, Jiang An won 2:1. Xia Yao said "bye" and went offline immediately. After a while, he also turned off the live broadcast and lay on the bed.

The lights in the bedroom were turned off, and the fluorescent light from the phone screen shone on Jiang An's face. His thumb hovered over a name in the WeChat list several times without clicking.Suddenly, he was a little confused whether he wanted to restore his innocence before repeating what happened four years ago, or whether he wanted to find out the person who delayed Xia Yao for a year, and then do what he could to make up for it.

However, he never wanted to "owe" others.

Just like what he said to Li Zhenhe, for so many years he stubbornly insisted on "being himself", but when he looked back later, he found that he was the only one left on the way back.

There are many people who know Jiang An, but none of them know Jiang An.

Every stage of his life is surprisingly similar. When he was a child, people always praised him for being smart and easy to use. I don’t know if this affected him or he is really a smart kid. He was always at the top of everything since he was a child. He is "No.1" in all e-sports activities.

In high school, Jiang An was a maverick to put it mildly, but if he didn't pay attention, he became a snob in the eyes of others - Xia Yao was the most typical one, one of the most completely forgotten by him.

It was only after a meal that night that he brought out the Xia Yao who had been "saved" twice by him in the back of his mind. Now he can only vaguely remember the general process, and he has long forgotten the specific things, let alone what he said what.

After thinking about it, he still felt that he couldn't rush to ask the manager of the year, so he returned to the message list and was going to ask Li Zhenhe if he had the contact information of the other teammates back then.

After he was "laid off" two years ago, in order to deeply "reflect" himself, and clearly distinguish the boundary between games and life, he deleted many people's WeChat, including Xia Yao's.

Of course, when he deleted Xia Yao as a contact, he only knew that this person was Xia Yao, and he had met him many times in the finals, nothing else.

What he never expected was that when he was sending a message to Li Zhenhe, Xia Yao's request to call suddenly popped up, and his hands quickly turned to answer the phone. There came an extremely embarrassing voice:

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

"Ah...it's okay, I thought you called me to find something." Jiang An held back his complicated emotions, and his breathing became more cautious.

And Xia Yao seemed to have finally found an excuse to hang up the phone, and said in silence for a while: "I have nothing to do, it's not convenient for you to talk, so hang up first."

"How do you know that it's inconvenient for me to speak?" Jiang An felt something was wrong as soon as the words came out. He seemed to have returned to his social status more than a year ago. With an aggressive feeling, it is no wonder that there were rumors that he deliberately "hid" Xia Yao in the youth training camp for a whole year, and would not let him go if he didn't use it.

There was a long silence on the phone. Jiang An always felt that he forgot something and didn't explain it clearly to Xia Yao. He couldn't remember it for a while. I want to talk to you if you have something to do, if you are not busy."

"That's good." Xia Yao simply agreed.

Jiang An changed his position and lay down, put on the earphones, turned on the bedside lamp, and said, "I heard from Li Zhenhe that you are leading Hanjiang Yingxue's second team now?"

"Well, I don't have anything to do recently, so I just help with the belt."

"That's really nothing." Jiang An smiled, and said casually, "They all came to help me cure 'Xia Style ptsd'."

Xia Yao heard the meaning of his words, and his voice sank: "What Xia style ptsd?" After speaking, he probably felt that such a rhetorical question was not very good, and then added: "That's all nonsense. .”

"It's okay, the treatment effect is not bad, it's a hit right." Jiang An was still joking, as if he had forgotten what he wanted to say to him at the beginning. Hearing the silence in his ears, he suddenly couldn't help Controllingly said: "Since you have known me for a long time, why didn't you come to me once in the youth training camp?"

Xia Yao, who was also leaning on the bed in the dim light, suddenly had some bad memories in his mind when he heard this sentence. He didn't expect that the phone call by mistake lasted for more than two minutes and he still didn't hang up. And it went off in increasingly strange directions.

He wasn't sure what Jiang An wanted to ask in the end, so he could only lie and say, "I don't really care, it's been so long, I won't care about it anymore, it's okay."

"Again? That's something you've thought about? If I remember correctly, you were only 19 years old when you entered the youth training camp?"

"——Jiang An, just tell me if you have anything to do with me." Xia Yao has never talked much, and this phone call and Jiang An these two days really made him confused, and he didn't want to be led away by him all the time. , He lay flat on the bed and raised his hand to turn off the bedside lamp, the whole room was suddenly silent.

Later, Jiang An seemed to smile before speaking again. He subconsciously opened his eyes and held the phone away from him.

"It's not very important. I just want to let the two teams play a game if they have time. Their main opponents are not the first team. It is good for practice." Jiang An said.

Xia Yao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his words, his voice and tone relaxed, and he replied: "Okay, you set a time."

Time passed day by day, and the Shanhai Cup officially started a week later. A round table was set up at the opening ceremony of the game. Senior management and participating players from various clubs arrived one after another. Jiang An got out of the car and realized that although Shen Yanhan did not report as a coach Prepare him, but he still has to follow the red carpet in.

He stood by the car and "questioned" Chen Gu: "Did you know about it earlier? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Did I tell you you're coming? Don't waste time and change clothes!" Chen Gu took out the suit he bought the night before from the trunk of the car, gestured in front of Jiang An, and said, "It should be able to wear it. "

Jiang An pushed the clothes away, frowned and said, "When did you go shopping?"

"Last night! But I didn't buy it. I mentioned it to Xia Yao yesterday, and he said that you probably don't have this kind of clothes. Then I thought, I might as well buy you a set, and I'll take a look at it when I'm done." Xia Yao is about the same size as you—" Chen Gu grabbed Jiang An's arm and put the clothes on, and said, "I just bought a set according to his size, and finally he rushed to pay for it."

"This is what Xia Yao bought?!" When Jiang An heard it, he seemed to be holding a hot potato in his arms instead of a suit, and hurriedly stuffed it to Chen Gu's side, fearing that the clothes would be wrinkled and dirty, so he stuffed it. I was cautious at the time, and that movement was awkward no matter how you looked at it.

Chen Gu didn't answer, he ran after Chen Gu for a few steps, and when he looked up, he saw a person getting out of the car next door.

"If you don't want it, then I'll take it back and wear it. If you want it, you can transfer the money to me—or you can accept it as a gift, which is even better."

Xia Yao's voice came from the corner, and he got out of the car with a suit in his hand. The parking lot was poorly lit, and Jiang An couldn't see what color it was.

He glanced at Chen Gu who was hiding far away, then turned his lips into a polite smile: "I really deserve such an expensive gift from Captain Xia, I didn't expect to be dressed so formally today, Chen So don't say anything, then I will transfer the money to you later."

"Okay, then I'll take a ticket for you." Xia Yao also smiled at him very politely.

Seeing that this "deal" was successfully concluded, Chen Gu smiled happier than the two parties involved. He suddenly stepped forward, took one in each hand, and walked boldly towards the elevator entrance.

"No, Chen Gu, are you tired from walking like this?" Jiang An is taller than Chen Gu, so he had to sink his shoulders to make up for Chen Gu's height. He turned his head and saw that Xia Yao was also as awkward as him , Both of them walked staggeringly.

Chen Gu didn't know why he was in such a good mood today, he glanced left and right, and said with inexplicable regret: "It would be more eye-catching if you two could walk the red carpet together, you said you two have such excellent conditions, why are you both bent?" Is it gone? ——But it’s okay, it’s good that the fat and water don’t flow into other people’s fields.”

Xia Yao: "..."

Jiang An: "Chen Gu, I have really only regarded you as a brother for so many years."

When Chen Gu heard this, he immediately let go of Jiang An's shoulder, and said in distaste, "Go away! I don't choose Xia Yao, and I don't choose you!"

"You know that people are going to choose you? What if Xia Yao chooses me?" As soon as Jiang An said this, the footsteps of the three people stopped abruptly.

Xia Yao was the first to react, staring at him intently.

Chen Gu coughed twice and smiled at Jiang An, then looked at Xia Yao, and pretended to say, "Jiang An, you have changed."

Jiang An didn't speak, Xia Yao looked at him, and he also looked at Xia Yao with his hands crossed behind his head, without any intention of arguing about what he just blurted out.

"Seeing you more than a month ago, I thought you were finally ready to be a good person. Today, I saw that not only have you changed back, but you have really improved in this shameless kung fu!"

After Chen Gu finished speaking, he ran away, Jiang An turned around and chased after him with a chuckle, and said with a smile, "You know how my reputation has been ruined!"

Xia Yao took two steps forward and then stopped. He stood there quietly for a while, just when the light from above his head shone down and wrapped him up, and fell on his slightly trembling eyelashes.

The joke in the parking lot was over, and no one expected that the organizers would play so many tricks when walking the red carpet, insisting that the coaches, managers and players walk separately.

In this way, Han Jiang Yingxue and Shen Yanleng's coaching manager must be the finale. When Jiang An changed his clothes and went backstage, he deliberately stood away from the crowd, hoping that no one would notice him and then mixed in with the reporters to enter the venue.

As soon as he successfully escaped from the crowd, he was mercilessly stopped by a staff member wearing a work pass: "Is it peace of mind?"

He really wanted to say no, but everyone present could prove that he was.

"I am, what's the matter?" So he could only turn around and reply her very politely.

The staff made a gesture of invitation to him, signaled him to go back, and explained thoughtfully: "That's the reporter channel, you can wait here for a while, and walk the red carpet with a few other special guests later. go out."

Jiang An thought to himself, isn't this just an e-sports competition, why is it like a film festival, with a lot of guests on the red carpet.Forget it all, why should he be counted among the special guests?

As soon as he turned around, he saw Xia Yao.

Strictly speaking, Xia Yao didn't have to appear on the red carpet if he didn't participate in the competition. It never occurred to the organizer to include him in the list of special guests.

What's more, why is he also a "guest" now?

Due to the staring eyes of all parties, he returned to the guest line, and immediately called Taozi.

"Taozi, how did I become a guest?!"

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, Jiang An saw that Taozi had just stepped off the red carpet and took his seat. He lowered his voice and said, "Tell them, can I not leave?"

"Brother, dear brother, the draft has been sent out right away. What should I say? I said it when I saw it this morning, but—but both Tayue and the company want to arrange it this way."

"...Is there really no way?"

"I can't help it, I really can't help it, like this! You have finished walking the red carpet today! Tonight I will treat you to dinner to surprise you!"

Jiang An glanced around, and when he wanted to say something, the staff had already come to urge him, so he could only hang up the phone in a hurry, and followed the directions to the red carpet.

They also had six or seven guests, representatives of sponsors and sponsors, and executives of several big clubs, and then he and Xia Yao.

The people in front went out one after another, followed by these two "heavyweight" guests.

Jiang An used to walk the red carpet a lot before, but what he was worried about now was not how to walk, but walking the red carpet with Xia Yao. This sudden change caught him off guard.

The two stood side by side, Xia Yao looked at him, and then reminded him in a low voice: "The tie is a little crooked."

He lowered his head and pulled it, but the result became more and more crooked.

Xia Yao said again, "Go a little to the left."

He talked too much, and accidentally tightened it, which made him cough twice.Xia Yao pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, seeing that no one was around, he simply leaned slightly sideways and raised his hand to help him, loosened his tie, and then carefully patted it on.

Jiang An's gaze fell on the bridge of his nose, looked at him for a while, and said softly, "I didn't expect you to be so good at wearing a tie."

"You just need to fight a few more times. There are too many activities, so there is no way." Xia Yao took two steps back after speaking, looked him up and down, and then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go."

The red carpet was not long, and both sides were full of fans and reporters. The host read the script, and his voice was drowned out by the sound of shutters and the screams of fans.He walked inside, subconsciously turned his head to look at Xia Yao, and then noticed that the styles of the two suits were similar, Xia Yao wore dark blue, his was dark red, and there was not much difference in height, but Xia Yao Yao is actually a little thinner than him.

It was only when Jiang An walked closer to the interview area that he heard what the host was saying. He was engrossed in what he was listening to, but Xia Yao, who was one step ahead of him, stopped and bumped into him lightly.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't pay attention." Jiang An quickly apologized in a low voice, and stood back beside Xia Yao.

Xia Yao leaned towards him, and also reminded in a low voice: "There are many reporters, they can ask everything, and if you don't want to answer, don't answer."

Then there was the interview session between the two of them. As Xia Yao said, not only were there many reporters on site, but they also asked a variety of questions.Jiang An looked at the pile of microphones in front of him, frowned and coughed twice.

As soon as Xia Yao finished answering a question, a reporter from a live broadcast platform immediately asked Jiang An: "Xin An came back after a year and a half. Why did you choose Shen Yanleng? We all know that Shen Yanleng is the team that Qinghe Xia belonged to. You also fought against Shen Yan in the last match, are those rumors about you and Qing and Xia true?

"Do you have anything to say about the previous 'fake match' incident?"
