Chapter 23 – Ye Qiu's Retirement (2)

The Club was able to invite Sun Xiang, this type of new generation expert, that news helped uplift the mood . But the king of the first generation? He could only endure the wearing of time alone and sadly depart .

He walked free and easy, but in his heart he was absolutely unhappy . He still wanted to struggle . He still hadn't thought that his professional career had reached its end . But he already had no choice . Accept the conditions and become the Club's training partner? This would be a humiliating choice . But Ye Xiu could see through their tricks . He knew very clearly that the Club was certain that he wouldn't resign to this sort of humiliation and would definitely choose to leave . This was why they had given him the choice . If he had unexpectedly accepted it, then the Club would look for other methods to forcefully make him leave .

Although this was extremely cruel, from a business standpoint, this was the only choice . Because of the Alliance's commercialization, the Alliance had already turned merciless .

Ye Xiu hadn't reached retirement age yet . In fact, the Club also understood this point . Their option of retirement was their way of proving this . They not only wanted to get rid of this baggage, but also feared that a competitor would take this chance to grab him and easily become strong . They would rather thoroughly eliminate him than make him their future enemy .

Thus, forcing Ye Xiu into retirement was a result of their thinking . They undoubtedly succeeded . Ye Xiu saw through this, but could only follow their script and leave . A life and death struggle? He didn't want that because he still had another road to follow . Retiring for a year, this wasn't necessarily a bad situation . Going back a step opened up boundless opportunities . Although this step was bit big……

“Let's call it a day……” When the screen rolled over this caption, Ye Xiu finally couldn't watch it any longer . This sort of program deliberately tried to stir up emotions making some of the people in the Internet Cafe directly burst into tears . But the sad, reminiscing, miserable feelings, among everyone, who could compare to him? Ye Xiu squeezed out of the crowd . He stood outside of the entrance and let out a sigh . But to his surprise, he heard a sobbing sound spread to his ears . He turned around and looked . Unexpectedly, it was Chen Guo hiding alone outside the door . Her eyes were also crystal bright .

They both saw each other . Not greeting didn't seem like a good choice, so Ye Xiu called out: “Boss, you're crying?”

“You beast . You don't even have this sort of feeling?” Chen Guo said .

“Too much, if it wasn't held back, wouldn't it have burst out by now?” Ye Xiu said .

“Die!” Chen Guo cursed, “Do you have any paper?”

Ye Xiu searched his body from head to toe: “Will a cigarette case work?”

“……”

“I'll go get some . ” Without waiting for the boss's response, Ye Xiu promptly ran back to the Internet Cafe to look .

The sound of weeping grew loud, both males and females cried . This time, Ye Xiu couldn't hold back the sadness in his heart . He knew exactly who these people were crying for . Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but begin to tear up . Ye Xiu hastily went to the front desk and asked for a bag of paper napkins . Rushing out, he stuffed them into Chen Guo's hands . His back against the wall, he fished out a cigarette and lit it .

“What are you doing? Are you going to cry too? Do you need some paper?” Behind him, Chen Guo seemed to sense it .

“How could it be? How could I cry?” Ye Xiu turned his body and conveniently puffed out a mouthful of smoke towards Chen Guo's face . The tears that had just been wiped away reappeared because of the smoke .

Chen Guo waved her hands to get rid of the smoke . Unexpectedly, she didn't say anything and stuffed the paper napkins back into Ye Xiu's hands . She turned around and went back into the Internet Cafe .

Ye Xiu leaned against the wall and silently smoked his cigarette . He took out a napkin and then wiped away some mucus . He then walked towards the small restaurant nearby .

After Ye Xiu, with a toothpick in his mouth, ate his fill and returned to the Internet Cafe, the special commemoration movie of Ye Qiu had ended . But the atmosphere inside the Internet Cafe still hadn't cleared yet . Many people's eyes were still red . Most of the people there were like this, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about . On the contrary, people like Ye Xiu, who held a calm expression on his face, were easily viewed as heartless beasts by everyone else . If you didn't explain that you didn't play Glory, then you would feel quite embarrassed when greeting others .

He didn't know where Boss Chen went, so Ye Xiu went to the front desk to ask around . Mainly, to ask about how this special broadcast came to be .

It turned out that whenever a Glory competition took place, the Internet Cafe would put on this sort of special live stream . Originally, there wasn't a competition today, but for this type of big event like Ye Qiu's retirement, the e-sports stream would also quickly make this type of special program . As a result, the Happy Internet Cafe would also show the stream as if it were a competition .

In the past, when the competition stream ended, everyone would be burning with anger and rush to play the game with unprecedented enthusiasm . It directly caused the Internet Cafe to be packed with people and their revenue that day would rise sky high . But today, after this stream, the Glory players were all in a rare gloomy mood . Some even left at once to return home and cry into their pillows . Some went to three or five of their good friends and drunk together . Of course, there were people that continued to play games in the Internet Cafe . After all, not everyone were fans of Ye Qiu . There were always a few people that didn't care about his retirement . But the overall atmosphere did infect them . Although they continued to play, they did feel somewhat listless .

The entire Internet Cafe seemed very quiet . If it were an ordinary day, all the Glory players would definitely wear their headphones or shout with energy . The Cafe would be bustling with noise and excitement .

Ye Xiu was currently thinking of what to do when he saw Chen Guo come down from the second floor . He hurried over and called out: “Boss, do I officially start working today?”

“Okay . ” Chen Guo said, “But when you're working, you can't just casually sit down somewhere . You have to keep watch at this counter here . ”

“Can I play games?”

“You can . Just use that station . ” Chen Guo pointed to the computer that was currently being used to watch K-Dramas by the little sister at the counter .

“Can I smoke?” Ye Xiu asked .
”
Chen Guo looked at him in the eye and helplessly nodded her head: “You can smoke . You can smoke . But when I come over in the morning, there can't be any smoke smell or any cigarette ash . ”

“Understood . ” Ye Xiu said .

Soon after, Chen Guo taught Ye Xiu how to turn on and shut down the computers for guests . In the end, she said: “Truthfully, at this time, most of the guests pull all-nighters . At 11 o'clock, all the guests should have all arrived and their computers will automatically shut down at 7 in the morning . There's really not much for you to do . Just you being there is good enough . If the guests have any issues, they'll ring a bell . ”

“What happens if a computer malfunctions?” Ye Xiu asked . Although he wasn't computer illiterate, he still didn't have the skill to fix a broken computer .

“Restart it . ” Chen Guo said .

Ye Xiu wiped away his sweat: “And if restarting doesn't work?”

“Switch computer stations . ” Chen Guo said .

Ye Xiu started sweating again . Right when he was about to ask again, Chen Guo had already said: “You're on the night shift . There will be plenty of open computers, so you can just choose a random one . But write down what the computer's problem was, I'll look for a technician to come look at it the next day . ”

“Okay . Understood . ” Ye Xiu nodded his head .
