Playing Fish Trapped in Secret Room

Book 2: You’re Beautiful

Chapter 29

Ai Qing had done all she could to prepare for the upcoming games. But unexpectedly, in the drawing for the quarter finals, SP and K&K would be playing against each other.

She was dumbfounded when she received the drawing result. In other words, one of the two, Dt or Inin, wouldn’t be able to advance to the semi-finals. The loser might not even have the chance to squeeze into the top three spots.

She told the bosses back in China during their evening conference call. It was a regretful outcome.

Though these esports competitions were all between clubs. However, they all wanted to see a stronger presence of Chinese players in these kind of large international tournaments, with more than one player in the semi-finals.

“Both players are fledgling champions. It’s a pity regardless who loses.” Baona sounded helpless with a smile.

Suddenly Solo spoke to her before the conference was about to end. “Slide wants to talk to you alone.”

“Ah?” She was surprised. Then, she realized that she was too involved with StarCraft that she had forgotten that she was only guest starring in this. Her real focus in the next several years should be on . “Ok. I’ll wait for him.”

Everyone dropped out of the conference one by one. Then a new number dialed in.

“How about it, is our Apple Dog happy playing in America?” Slide’s laughter accompanied his greeting. “You are really like a big shot now. Even when I try to call you, I have to wait until all the bosses finish venting it all out.”

She laughed. “Be careful. Our phone conference for routine business is all recorded.”

“Ok. Let’s talk business then. I have a very difficult situation here. Since China’s server for Secret Room Storm has opened, several large clubs are all playing ranked. Xiaomi’s performance hasn’t been very good on the rankings a month ago.”

Xiaomi?

“I know. I saw the ranks for last month.”

Slide’s tone was very sincere, “I gave him the opportunity for a month, but up to now he hasn’t entered the top 100.”

“You haven’t told Solo.”

He answered vaguely, “Solo is the boss of the Asian region in charge of several countries. Each country has more than ten events-- --”

“Are you afraid that he will be playing favourites with his old teammate?” She directly punctured Slide’s excuse, “Are you?”

It was quiet for a while.

“He won’t.” Slide finally answered.

“Yes…...he will.” Ai Qing refuted him.

She understood Solo too well. Even though they never discussed the names of the A team in depth and even tried to avoid this subject every time they talked, she knew it clearly nevertheless. Solo had personal bias in the selection of the players this time.

He even disregarded public opinion and determined the names in an arbitrary manner.

Though they were the bosses of the Chinese region for K&K and SP, he was different from Gun.

Gun had persistence beyond ordinary people on esports. Therefore he could reach the peak of a professional player on individual ability. But Solo was a person who cared about a person’s feelings. He was specialized in motivating others, allows others to reach their highest potential. This made him a qualified captain.

But being…...the Chinese regional manager, he couldn’t let feelings get in the way.

Because he wasn’t just leading one team, he was leading the whole club.

“Slide.” She said lightly. “Let me tell you a secret. Perhaps your burden will lessen a bit.”

That was also one of the reasons she returned back to this circle again.

It was the private agreement between Solo and her.
