Chapter 9: Life in Despair

Excellent Era headquarters building, conference room.

Depression and despair are still spreading.

The contestants stared blankly at their Weibo accounts, which should have been filled with support and encouragement from fans, but now, there was only heart-piercing stabs.

"Vice-captain of Excellent Era? Are you worthy enough?" "What a heartless beast! Incompetent and insidious!" "Do you really think you can take over after Ye Shen leaves? You?"

This is under Liu Hao’s Weibo post announcing that he would serve as the vice-captain of Excellent Era.

The hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and the smugness in his heart completely disappeared, leaving only a trembling fear.

For Liu Hao, fame and fans are more important than anything else.

Compared with pure victory, he cares more about the degree of attention and recognition he receives.

It is for this reason that he resorted to all kinds of tricks and would rather lose the team's strength than to drive away Ye Qiu, his big brother.

He thought that as long as he could drive away this overly dazzling sun, he would be able to let others see his own light.

But after the truth was revealed, all people could see from him were his ugly and disgusting intentions.

Perhaps Liu Hao will be able to play professionally in the future. After all, his strength can still be considered among the second-tier players in the league.

But he is destined to never have real fan support.

This was worse than killing him.

Sun Xiang’s comment section looked completely different.

"What champion are you? What MVP are you? What dynasty are you? What is your historical status?"

"Since when did the stinking quarterfinals become worthy of claiming three consecutive championships?"

Sun Xiang's face turned red with anger, and his fingers flew on the phone keyboard.

I wrote a long paragraph with great enthusiasm, but finally deleted it dejectedly.

Sun Xiang is arrogant and conceited because of his talent, and his amazing talent is indeed worthy of this arrogance.

He debuted in a weak team, broke the rookie wall, and won the best rookie award in a crushing manner. This resume is dazzling enough.

But the only thing he lacked was hard honors as he had just started his career.

One Best Rookie, one All-Star, and one playoff elimination for his team. That's all Sun Xiang has won so far.

Perhaps in the future he may really be able to obtain honors that are not inferior to Ye Qiu.

But at least now, Ye Qiu fans can affectionately call Sun Xiang:

No crown shockwave.

Sun Xiang wanted to refute, but the problem was that he couldn't find an angle to refute.

You can’t always say: I will definitely become a champion in the future!

I guess he will only get a nickname like "loan champion".

It has to be said that Excellent Era fans really understand their own players very well, and every word they say hits the pain points of the parties involved accurately.

In the conference room, a large group of players were all defeated.

Sun Xiang, Liu Hao, He Ming, Zhang Jiaxing, Su Mucheng...

Oh, except Su Mucheng, there are mainly two types of content under her Weibo.

One type is the career fans who are arguing about where Su Mucheng’s next contract will go.

One type is the CP fans who shout “Ye Cheng is real! The CP I’m supporting is real!”

As the best partners in Glory for many years, and a man and a woman, Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng have always been a popular pair.

But unfortunately Ye Qiu never participated in the activities, and Su Mucheng's business level was very high, so there was no solid evidence for all these years.

As a result, Ye Cheng CP fans have had to rely on their imagination to support CP for so many years.

Until this time, during the retirement storm, Su Mucheng argued for Ye Qiu despite the hostility of the entire club, and tried her best to retain Ye Qiu who was about to leave.

There were even fans with sharp ears who could hear tears in Su Mucheng's voice...

Turtle, it’s so sweet that it’s choking.

Good news, CP finally gives some sweets.

The bad news is that the candy is broken. So the CP fans, who were mixed with sadness and joy, held high the flag of Ye Cheng and shouted victory, while fantasizing about which wealthy club would be able to take on the contracts of Ye Cheng and Ye Cheng at the same time.

By the way, he angrily cursed Jia Shi for breaking up the CP, saying that they were worse than pigs and dogs.

Finally, the door of the conference room opened, and Tao Xuan walked in with a wry smile after answering the phone.

"Mr. Tao, how is it?" Cui Li asked quickly.

"The contract was still terminated, but the other party paid the full penalty." Tao Xuan shook his head helplessly.

This was the third call he had received.

In addition to the alliance chairman Feng Xianjun calling and scolding him,
The other two sponsors could not bear the pressure and chose to terminate the contract.

The fans' endorsement method is ultimately very effective.

Tao Xuan knew very well that this was just the beginning of the beginning.

As long as the fans keep charging forward, Excellent Era will be able to gain half of its sponsors this season alone.

It is even more unknown how much the contract can be renewed for next season.

This couldn't go on any longer. Tao Xuan picked up his phone and walked out of the meeting room again.

Perhaps that person is the only one who can save Excellent Era.

The person who personally pushed Excellent Era into a desperate situation.

The storage room of Xingxin Internet Cafe.

Ye Zheng was on the phone, it was Pei Yunteng's phone.

"How about this combination of punches? It's impeccable, right?" Pei Yunteng said proudly.

"Your combination punches are amazing." Ye Xiu smiled bitterly. He had learned a lot today.

Obviously, it was Pei Yunteng who was able to get so many fans to attack Jia Shi in an organized and premeditated manner within an hour.

As a top keyboard warrior who has experienced countless big incidents in his previous life, Pei Yunteng is quite good at "making things bigger".

At least it could leave Ye Xiu, who knew nothing about the media, dumbfounded.

However, despite being shocked, Ye Xiu still felt a little reluctant.

After all, he had stayed in Excellent Era for seven full years, and he had spent his best years there.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Brother Pei, Excellent Era... is this really the end?"

Pei Yunteng seemed to have expected him to ask this and laughed.

"I told you before that dealing with Excellent Era is a means, not an end."

"Our real purpose is to give a loud wake-up call to the lifeless and disease-ridden alliance."

"So far, it seems that this warning has been quite effective."

"In that case, there is no need for us to continue targeting Excellent Era."

Ye Xiu's eyes lit up slightly, but then dimmed again.

Although Pei Yunteng promised not to target Jia Shi again, the desperate situation that Jia Shi is facing now is enough to make people completely despair.

The team fell apart, fans defected, and sponsors left in droves...

Excellent Era, is there really any hope?

While still feeling lost, Pei Yunteng suddenly smiled:
"I know you're still sentimental, so I guess you still want to save Excellent Era, right?"

Ye Xiu remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

"Don't worry. If that idiot Tao Xuan is willing to lower himself to beg you, just tell him what I said."

"Although I set him up for a dead end, I also left him a glimmer of hope."

"This ray of hope is hidden in my Weibo post."

"As for whether he can understand it, it depends on him."
