Chapter 622: The Boss’s Support
Tao Xuan, who was sitting in front of his computer, laughed out loud. He could empathize with
how Ye Qiu was feeling right now. Anyone could imagine how much pressure a brand new team
would face upon encountering a powerhouse like Excellent Era. For Tao Xuan, participating in
the Challenger League truly wasn’t anything to be happy about, but he was feeling a bit excited
seeing how much worry it was giving Ye Qiu.
Tao Xuan didn’t know when it started, but he had begun becoming more and more annoyed at
how serious Ye Qiu dedicated himself to Glory. In the end, wasn’t this just a game? What was
more important than having fun? But Ye Qiu was extremely passionate and persistent in
winning. Whenever he did something, it would always be with victory in mind. But anything
else unrelated would always be treated with indifference.
Having a passion for victory wasn’t a bad thing in itself. From a business perspective, someone
with a personality was easier to work with than someone without a personality. However, Ye
Qiu refused to cooperate on the business end. Because both sides had signed a long-term
contract early on, when they wrote up the contract, they hadn’t thought too far into the future
so the contract didn’t have any clauses or terms on cooperating with the business end. It wasn’t
his fault for being too careless. How could he have imagined that anyone would refuse a winwin
cooperation?
As the Glory Alliance rapidly developed, the ace players of the teams brought numerous benefits
to their respective Clubs. The more Tao Xuan saw these benefits pass by him, the more he
couldn’t sit still. Even though he had a prolific money tree like Su Mucheng, the more he felt the
benefits of having Su Mucheng helping the business end, the more he loathed how Ye Qiu
wouldn’t cooperate with him.
Ye Qiu was Excellent Era’s ace. He was the king who founded their dominating dynasty. In his
hands, he held the famed Battle God One Autumn Leaf and was awarded Best Partners with the
extremely popular Su Mucheng for several years in a row. Ye Qiu was like an enormous gold
waiting until he saw Sun Xiang appear. This youth had talent, a boundless future, mastery over
the Battle Mage class, and didn’t have a God-level character. Sun Xiang was without a doubt a
fitting successor.
The old being replaced by the new was something that teams often had to deal with, but no Club
was as impatient was Tao Xuan. He had tolerated Ye Qiu for too many years and a talent like
Sun Xiang would quickly be taken away by another team. Excellent Era no longer had complete
dominance over the league like in the past. They were just now one of the powerhouses.
Tao Xuan not only wanted Sun Xiang to come, he wanted him to immediately take over. He
wished he could instantly kick Ye Qiu out.
These were Tao Xuan’s true thoughts. If he could have done so without any terrible
consequences, he would have done so immediately. But there was nothing he could do. Ye Qiu’s
prestige was just too high. He was still bringing his team to the top. If he suddenly had a
successor without even deciding to retire yet and was treated so roughly, the Club would be
criticized harshly. Tao Xuan place a great amount of importance on the Club’s business. The
and who gave them their salaries. If the boss didn’t support the team captain, the team captain
would have difficulty being respected by his team.
After Tao Xuan decided to give up on Ye Qiu, he had quietly weakened Ye Qiu’s authority in the
team. It would be hard to avoid Excellent Era’s records from being affects. Tao Xuan anticipated
it would delince. After all, nothing good could come without sacrifice. In order to make a
chance, their records would waver. If their records wavered, the fans would also weaken their
support for Ye Qiu. It would make things easier for them to accept his leave.
Once Sun Xiang stormed onto the scene, Tao Xuan finally saw the person he needed and finally
put his plans into actions starting in the eighth scene. All sorts of issues arose in the team and
their record declined drastically. The fans openly complained as Tao Xuan quickly signed an
agreement to transfer Sun Xiang over to Excellent Era that winter.
However, Tao Xuan hadn’t imagined that the team’s record would drop so badly. He had
underestimated Ye Qiu’s importance to the team, but the more it was like this, he more he
despised Ye Qiu. In his eyes, Ye Qiu was not their team’s core, but their team’s tyrant. He was a
tumor that needed to be removed.
Thus, he went along with his original plans. He transferred Sun Xiang over that winter and
forced Ye Qiu to retire. Even though the fans were sad, their support for Team Excellent Era
didn’t change too much just because of a single change.
Tao Xuan relaxed. The worst hadn’t happened, making him feel like he had passed a huge block.
He was still worried about Su Mucheng though. When he decided to kick out Ye Qiu, Tao Xuan
had already accepted that he might need to give up on Su Mucheng as well. After all, his
tolerance for Ye Qiu had reached his limits. Su Mucheng would cause him to waver over his
decision to kick Ye Qiu out of the team and rebuild the team anew.
Tao Xuan originally thought everything would progress like he had expected, but the team’s
records actually dropped to the bottom. This was something that truly shocked him. He was at a
loss towards the team. As the boss, he knew a lot of things, but there were also a lot of things he
morale completely died. Tao Xuan was unable to turn around the situation. In the end, he could
only prepare for their relegations and trust that this crisis would pass.
Getting relegated definitely wasn’t within Tao Xuan’s predictions. He wasn’t happy at all about
this result. And everything was because of Ye Qiu.
If it wasn’t for him, how could things have ended up like this?
Lord Grim? Did you really think you could start over from zero? Tao Xuan sneered, seeing the
changed name on QQ. That instant, he suddenly felt like participating in the Challenger League
wasn’t too bad. Even though their image would certainly take a hit, personally eliminating Ye
Qiu would certainly be a sight to see. At this time, Tao Xuan finally saw the other side reply:
“Are you scared of me?”
