Chapter 139 Burning the Old Treaty Before the Iron Gate, Slaying the Treacherous Minister Under the Weibo Account

"Brother Zhou, are we really going to merge with WE?"

EDG Esports Club.

bathroom.

Zhu Kai huddled in the small cubicle, looking on with curiosity.

Abu has already gone to the training room to demonstrate his status, and Zhou Li is no longer in a position to sit in the office with his legs crossed. The two can only hide in the toilet to plot their scheme.

"Don't worry, King won't agree."

Zhu Kai was taken aback when he heard Zhou Li's words.

"Then you return it?"

"It's just a way to shift the blame, don't make it too ugly. Right now, King hates not only Abu, but also us, which isn't good. Think back to when Abu heard we were planning to merge with WE, what was his expression?"

Zhu Kai thought about it carefully for a moment, then hesitated and said:
"Surprised? And seemingly a little dissatisfied."

"Of course he's unhappy," Zhou Li laughed. "He thought that by coming to our EDG, he had gotten rid of WE, and he didn't give WE any face at all. First, he tricked Ruofeng and the others into going on a trip, and then he stopped calling King 'boss' and his tone was so arrogant. If we really merge with WE, shouldn't Abu think about whether he'll feel awkward and uncomfortable in the club?"

Zhu Kai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized!

"So Abu absolutely doesn't want us to merge with WE!"

"That's right, and given Abu's personality, he'll definitely try to sabotage things!"

Zhou Li took a voice recorder out of his pocket and put it into Zhu Kai's pocket.

"If you spread some false information, saying that the merger talks with WE are going smoothly, Abu will definitely get impatient and come to you."

Zhu Kai swallowed hard as he watched Zhou Li push open the door and come out.

Brother Zhou is fucking terrifying.

This is really going to destroy Abu, making it impossible for him to survive in this industry.

Abu first betrayed his former team, broke his contract, and defected to EDG, which was opposed to WE.

Then they spoke ill of EDG to prevent the two sides from merging.

In addition, a series of previous scandals will all be exposed at once...

Zhu Kai has already begun to observe a moment of silence in advance for Abu.
-
"Zhou Li! What have you been doing!"

Abu, who was putting on airs in the training room, saw Zhou Li return and asked with an unfriendly expression.

"Got to take a dump."

"Got to poop? I bet you're just squatting in the latrine! Everyone's training here, why are you the only one who needs to poop?"

Hearing Abu's words, Zhou Li couldn't help but laugh.

"No way, buddy, if everyone went to poop together, there wouldn't be enough stalls at the club."

"Still grinning at me like that!"

Abu's face darkened, and his voice became sharper.

"Let me tell you, now that I've taken over EDG, everything has to be done according to the big club's requirements! You leave training time without reason, completely disregarding the club's rules. Someone like you, with an unprofessional attitude and disobedience, is a cancer in the club!"

Mingkai stood up and tugged at Abu.

"Okay, stop talking, stop talking."

Abu shoved Mingkai aside and said sternly:

"What are you doing, Mingkai! Go back to training! I treat every player equally! It's no use pleading for him!"

Mingkai sighed, thinking to himself that it was impossible to reason with this damned devil, and helplessly sat back down in his seat.

"Zhou Li, I can tell you definitively right now!"

Abu continued to hurl insults at Zhou Li.

"You are not welcome at our EDG club! Effective today, you are fired!!"

As soon as Abu finished speaking, the sound of typing stopped throughout the EDG club.

Lu Benwei and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

UZI was the first to jump out.

"Why did you fire my brother Zhou?! What did my brother Zhou do to you?!"

Seeing UZI take the lead, Lu Benwei also spoke up:

"Wow, bro! You've gone a bit too far! We..."

He was about to continue speaking when Zhu Kai barged in.

"What's going on? Zhou Li, what are you doing now!"

He pointed at Zhou Li and reprimanded him sternly.

"Since Coach Abu said you're fired, then you're fired. Go back and pack your things and get out of here!!"

Zhu Kai's attitude clearly left everyone present dumbfounded.

It's worth noting that Zhu Kai was the first person in the club to fawn over the club.

They truly devoted themselves to the rites of Zhou, working tirelessly until their dying breath.

Why have you changed your attitude now?
Zhou Li's face turned red, as if he were extremely angry.

"Alright, alright! You all remember this!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

But UZI grabbed him.

"Brother Zhou! Don't go!"

Zhou Li tried to break free, but UZI held him tightly.

"Brother Zhou! You can't leave! EDG can't do without you!"

"Damn idiot."

Zhou Li cursed under his breath and could only drag UZI outside.

Seeing Zhou Li storm out the door, Abu snorted coldly.

He was very satisfied with this act of making an example of someone to intimidate others and establish his authority.

Abu looked at Zhu Kai and asked:

"How are the negotiations going with WE?"

Zhu Kai smiled and said, "That's great. King has already agreed. We'll be family then, and you won't have to bear the blame."

Upon hearing Zhu Kai's words, Abu's expression instantly turned ugly.

He pulled Zhu Kai towards the office.

"There are some things I need to talk to you about. You'd better pass this on to the boss for me..."
-
WE Esports Club.

King sat at his desk, his brow furrowed in worry.

WE team leader Xiaoshou sighed and couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, are we going to merge with EDG?"

King shook his head and said, "How could that be? EDG has such a bad reputation. No matter what conditions they offer, we can't merge with them. I'm just worried that Nuoyan and the others probably won't come back."

When WE and Mingkai signed the contract, the issue of liquidated damages was not even clearly stated.

After all, back then, the players' salaries were only two or three thousand a month.

No one has realized yet that with the development of esports, players will have a fan base as they become public figures.

At first, the contestants were treated like employees.

Imagine if you signed a contract with an employee who earns two or three thousand a month, would you still consider the issue of breach of contract penalties?
Now that Abu has run away with Mingkai and Curly, it's like a blow to their heads.

Even if they go to court, they probably won't get much money in compensation.

The key point is that the sudden departure of these two players will have a serious impact on the club's upcoming matches.

As soon as King finished speaking, Ruofeng's phone next to him received several message notifications.

He took out his phone, glanced at it, and paused for a moment.

"It's news from Zhu Kaifa."

"Zhu Kai? That manager from EDG? He's here to try and persuade you, right? Tell him to give up. There's no way we'll merge with EDG."

Ruofeng glanced at the message and his expression turned strange.

"Um, he said... he asked me to pass on a message to you, that EDG doesn't want to merge with WE."

Upon hearing Ruofeng's words, King's blood pressure instantly spiked.

Damn it, they haven't even explicitly rejected EDG yet, and EDG is already rejecting WE?!

King snatched Ruofeng's phone and found several voice messages below Zhu Kai's text message.

When I opened the voice message bar, it wasn't Zhu Kai's voice that came through.

It was a voice they knew all too well.

Abu's amazing empress-like voice!

"Hey, I'm serious, we can't merge with WE. I've been there for so long, I know WE too well. That club of theirs is really stupid."

"Let me tell you, if it weren't for me at WE, would WE have achieved what it has today? Now that I'm here, with Mingkai and Curly, there's no need to go through with any mergers or anything like that, which would only cause a lot of trouble."

"That King is stingy in everything he does, and he's not very smart either."

"Promise and Curly are enough. What's the point of the other three? Big Nose is really bad, and he has a performative personality. Strawberry has to sit at the same table with Big Nose. As for Smile, don't be fooled by all the hype about him being the world's best ADC. It's all hype. In the bot lane, he's always carrying the team thanks to Curly. He's a total noob." "Why don't you give me the boss's number? I'll talk to him personally. I absolutely do not approve of merging with WE."

"If you want to merge, then I'll take Mingkai and Curly with me!"

When the little beast heard Abu's recording, it was so angry that it could no longer contain itself.

"Damn it, I really want to fuck this bastard to death!!"

King's face was terribly gloomy as he threw his phone onto the table.

“Abu also made an official announcement on Weibo.”

Everyone looked at King's phone.

Today I say goodbye. No matter how much I miss and long for it. Thank you to everyone who has accompanied and helped me along the way. Thank you. WE, this exciting name, is where I poured out my youth and sweat, where I dreamed of great things. I will always proudly remember that I was once a member of your team. Wherever I am or what I do in the future, this will always be a precious memory and experience for me. (*)

[This departure was discussed and confirmed with the club beforehand. Although I'm leaving, I've experienced so much in the past year, and I hope WE will continue to do well. Special thanks to @裴乐jing for giving me the opportunity to come this far.] (*)

When Xiao Shou saw Abu's Weibo post, he was furious.

"This jerk, how dare he tag the boss? Does he think our boss is a decent person who won't hold it against him?!"

When the fans of 60e saw Abu's Weibo post about leaving the team, they lined up in the comments, either trying to persuade Abu to stay or comforting him.

After all, Abu's Weibo post only mentioned his own departure, so fans thought it was just Abu who had left.

Seeing that the fans still treat Abu like a good person, Xiao Shou was completely devastated.

He directly reposted Abu's Weibo post, writing:

How's the food at EDG?

The moment this Weibo post was published, the 60e fans went wild!
Just ten seconds later, Abu called King.

"King, isn't this a bit unnecessary? Can't we just part ways amicably? I already told you..."

"beep--"

King hung up the phone immediately.

The little beast noticed the boss's attitude and, in response to the fans' questions, immediately started a Weibo war!
-
EDG Esports Club.

Inside an apartment.

"Brother Zhou! They're fighting! They're fighting!!"

Zhu Kaixing excitedly rushed into Zhou Li's temporary residence.

There was nothing he could do; he had already been kicked out by their coach, Abu, yesterday.

Zhou Li glanced at Weibo and said:

"Contact Dong Xiaobao, IF, and Natsume; we can start the exposure now."

"Didn't WE release the recording?"

Zhu Kai shook his head.

"You're quite kind. Here's what we'll do, Xiao Zhu, your phone is broken."

Upon hearing Zhou Li's words, Zhu Kai was taken aback and shook his phone.

"It's not broken, Brother Zhou."

"I said your phone is broken, so it's broken."

Zhu Kai's pig brain clearly hasn't caught up yet.

"Xiao Zhu, your phone is broken, shouldn't you take it to get it repaired?"

Zhu Kai was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized!

"I get it, Brother Zhou! I'm Edison Chen, right?!"

Zhou Li waved his hand, and seeing that Zhu Kai was about to leave, he called Zhu Kai back.

"Buy some online trolls to get our sister Abu trending on social media. And—"

Zhou Li opened his laptop and sent a document with pictures and text to Zhu Kai.

"The story of Beaker Cloth is too long, and I'm worried that some impatient people won't read it. So I've compiled it into a picture and text version for him in chronological order, starting from Void Death Sister to betraying WE and joining EDG. I've made a complete compilation. You can post it on Weibo using your alternate account and also submit it to major game portals."

Zhu Kai nodded.

"Got it, Brother Zhou!"

The speed at which Abu's story exploded online was far faster than Zhou Li had imagined.

Besides Zhou Li deliberately arranging the timing of all the outbreaks, another important reason is that EDG and WE are now mortal enemies!
Back then, when Abu brought Mingkai and the others to the newly established EDG team, they had no grudges against WE, yet the 60e fans buried their entire families.

Not to mention the current relationship between EDG and WE.

The 60e have gone completely mad, wreaking havoc on the internet, causing widespread death and destruction.

Then, wave after wave of revelations came out.

In an era when the esports industry was not yet widely recognized, the esports-related term "Abu" broke into the top three of Weibo's trending topics for the first time!
This directly propelled Abu into the mainstream, gaining attention from many people outside the circle.

Although Mingkai and Curly, including EDG, were also bombarded by fans.

However, under the guidance of online trolls, the blame for everything was pointed at Abu.

The situation has clearly developed in a way that has exceeded Abu's expectations.

The next day, Abu, his face pale, looked out of the EDG base.

Outside the iron gate that Chris had locked, a large crowd of angry 60e members had gathered, wanting to meet Abu in person.

"These damn idiots! I'm going crazy!!"

She paced anxiously in the training room while constantly checking Weibo.

The series of revelations have completely exposed Abu's true colors.

As she was scrolling, she suddenly saw that EDG's official Weibo account had just posted a new update.

Upon opening the link, Abu's face instantly turned deathly pale, and he became so angry that his fingers trembled.

Regarding the recent series of controversies sparked by club coach Ji Xing (ID: Abu), EDG Esports Club hereby solemnly declares the following:
1. Regarding personnel recruitment.

Based on Ji Xing's proactively provided professional resume and commitments, we previously agreed to let him join EDG along with players Ming Kai and Juan Mao. The club has always believed in and respected the contractual spirit of the players and coaches, but it has now been ascertained that Ji Xing engaged in serious deception during the joining process. His statements regarding "amicable termination of contract with WE" and "transfer after tripartite negotiation" are all inconsistent with the facts. The club was unaware of his breach of trust and did not participate in any illegal activities.

2. Regarding professional ethics.

We have noticed that Ji Xing overstepped his authority by dismissing team members and publicly disparaging professional players during training (the recording mentions comments such as "Big-nosed Cai," "Smiling relies on Curly-haired C," and "Strawberry sits at the same table"). His actions of using his position to suppress team members and incite conflict completely violate EDG's founding principle of "Upholding Etiquette and Pursuing Excellence Without Limits."

3. Regarding character and morality.

We have noticed that during Ji Xing's time at WE, he engaged in a series of egregious acts, including deceiving superiors and subordinates, fabricating a sister, forming cliques, and stealing the fruits of others' labor. His moral depravity runs counter to the principles that our Daoli Esports Club has always upheld.

4. Decision on handling the matter.

Effective immediately, the contractual relationship with Ji Xing (ID: Abu) is terminated. The club reserves the right to pursue legal action against Ji Xing for any legal disputes and reputational damage caused by her personal misconduct.

5. Apology and promises.

We apologize to the WE team and players who were involved in this incident, and we deeply regret our actions towards the fans who support EDG. The club has initiated a management overhaul process and will strengthen compliance oversight to prevent such incidents from happening again.

"Zhu Kai!!!"

Abu had completely lost his mind and rushed towards Zhu Kai's office.

"Zhu Kai! What does this mean?! Why are you firing me?!"

Zhu Kai, mimicking Zhou Li's manners, propped his legs up on the desk and leisurely began to speak:

"What do you mean? You just get fired without any repercussions?"

"Are you fucking crazy?! I brought this guy to EDG, and now you're firing me?!"

Zhu Kai took out the contract from a drawer and pointed to it.

“Brother, getting angry with me won’t help. This is the boss’s decision. You see, it was clearly stated in the contract that Party B should maintain a certain personal image. If the club’s image is damaged due to Party B’s personal image issues, Party A has the right to terminate the contract.”

Zhu Kai calmly tapped the table.

"You've done so many disgusting things, bringing such a bad influence to our club's reputation. Now, the 60e fans are still surrounding the club, causing psychological trauma to the players. Fire you? I can tell you clearly, we will also hold you accountable!!"

Abu, his eyes red, shouted fiercely like a shrew:

"What the hell are you pretending for in front of me! I want to see the boss! I want to see the boss!!"

"What's wrong, Xiao Bu? You wanted to see me?"

A voice rang out behind Abu.

Abu felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

She turned around abruptly and saw Zhou Li standing behind her with a smile.

"What are you here for?"

Upon seeing Zhou Li arrive, Zhu Kai quickly stood up from his executive chair, thoughtfully wiping it down, and said with a smile:

"Boss, please have a seat."

Zhou Li smacked Zhu Kai on the back of the head.

"Idiot, are you filming a short drama here?!"

He glanced at his old man's white vest and flip-flops.
