Chapter 192 The Tiger Tally Visited the Humble Abode, Rejected Three Times; The Qiang Flute Still Laments the General's Halberd
WE.A Esports Club.

Pei Le was sitting in front of Zhou Li with a worried look on his face.

WE.A has just defeated EDG and killed the traitor. Now the fans are in a frenzy. It is the time when the name of WE is most resounding. Logically speaking, Pei Le should be overjoyed at this moment.

In fact, Pei Le did think that way in the two days following WE.A's victory over EDG.

Online, the 60e generation celebrated the victory with great joy, as if it were New Year's Day.

But soon, the wind direction changed.

Because some netizens started to question it.

Given Zhou Li's abilities, why can he only stay in the youth training team and not enter the first team?
If Zhou Li had been promoted to the first team earlier, would WE be in such a terrible situation now?

They, the 60e, would have already killed the traitor and triumphed; why wait until today?

As a result, the 60e members began to question the incompetence, corruption, and corruption of WE's management.

Such a world-class jungler, and WE just put him in the youth training team?

What does it mean to let that guy, Shan Ni Ruo, keep occupying the position without doing anything?
What was supposed to be a celebration of victory turned into a massive attack by the 60e fans against WE's management.

This has also greatly affected the players of WE's first team.

Every time the team members go live, the comments section is filled with the same message: Why not let Zhou Li join the team?
The most tragic victim among them was Shan Ni Ruo, the jungler from Team One.

Netizens speculated that if Shan Ni were WE's Royal Club, despite his consistently poor performance and the fact that he was almost forcing WeiXiao and CaoMei to retire, he would still be able to consistently outperform ZhouLi and remain on the first team.

Whenever Shan Ni Ruo goes live, his fans send him their best wishes and warmest blessings.

So much so that Pei Le has recently started looking for a psychologist to help Shan Ni Ruo.

But being constantly criticized by fans isn't a solution.

WE's hard-earned reputation is about to be ruined again.

These netizens being fans of a particular player does not benefit the club at all.

Their current resistance against WE's management is actually harming WE's interests.

But Pei Le was also suffering inside.

Because he doesn't have the management rights of the youth training team at all.

It wasn't something he could just do with a single word to get Zhou Li transferred to the first team.

The key point is that Zhou Li, for some reason, prefers to stay in the youth training team and refuses to join the first team no matter what.

Pei Le also knew that Zhou Li was not short of money at all, and had no effective way to entice this person to join his team.

The only thing that can move Zhou Li now is probably his sincerity.

This marks the third time in the past few days that Pei Le has visited the youth training team to sincerely invite Zhou Li to join WE.

Outside the office, almost all the WE.A employees were gathered together, peeking through the crack in the door to eavesdrop.

Everyone was already aware that Pei Le had been coming to the youth training team for several days in a row, trying to recruit Zhou Li to the first team.

At this moment, everyone in WE.A is filled with anxiety.

It's important to know that Zhou Li is the absolute backbone of this team.

This applies to both the two managers, Zhu Kaitabe and Sima Laozei Khan, as well as the team members.

If Zhou Li chooses to leave, then their future is uncertain.

"Brother Zhu, do you think Brother Zhou would abandon us?"

Upon hearing Xi Ye's words, Zhu Kai nodded affirmatively.

"Definitely not. Knowing Brother Zhou as I do, he's a very loyal and devoted person. He would never abandon us to join Team One."

Tabe glanced at Zhu Kai and hesitated:
"Um... I don't mean to discourage you guys, but Zhu Kai, you and Brother Zhou have only known each other for a short time."

Zhu Kai's eyebrows instantly rose.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Yes, I've only known Brother Zhou for a little over a month, but! I've always felt that I've known Brother Zhou for a long time, and that genuine closeness can't be faked!"

Seeing the suspicious expressions on everyone's faces, Zhu Kai said firmly, "I know you don't believe me. Actually, I'm also wondering why I feel so close to Brother Zhou as soon as I see him. I've thought about this for a long time, and in the end, I think there's only one truth: Brother Zhou was my father in his past life."

Sima the Old Thief's expression showed a rare fluctuation.

"No wonder Zhu Kai was able to become this manager."

The Khan squeezed his head into the crowd, his innocent eyes wide as he asked:

"What's going on? What's going on? Is Brother Zhou leaving?"

Saint Gun glanced at Khan.

"Why do I get the feeling you're a little expectant? Are you secretly plotting something?"

The Khan blushed slightly, as if his thoughts had been read.

"Where is that! That's nonsense about reverse tonics!"

"Shh!"

Xi Ye raised her finger, making a shushing gesture.

He then pointed to the room.

"Stop arguing, Brother Zhou has spoken."

Everyone held their breath and pressed their ears against the door.

"President Pei, what's the meaning of you coming here to see me every day?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, isn't this just like the story of Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times? I'd like to follow suit."

"President Pei, there's no need. It's impossible for me to leave the second team."

Zhou Li's voice answered with great conviction.

Pei Le's three days of persuasion had clearly had no effect. What a joke!

What kind of rotten fish are on WE's first team now?
The youth training team he built, although these lads are still a bit young, are all seasoned players who have stood the test of time.

It might seem like joining a team is a step up, but in reality, it's like burying your head in a cesspool.

Pei Le sighed.

"Wouldn't it be better if you joined the first team? After all, this is the first team! Strawberry and Smile are both top-notch players. If you team up, it's not impossible for you to compete for the world championship. You're in the youth training team, and they are still too young and inexperienced. Wouldn't you be dragging yourself down by taking them with you?"

Outside the door, everyone clenched their fists. Sima Laozei even wanted to rush in and fight Pei Le Zhenren, but Zhu Kai stopped him.

"Why isn't Brother Zhou saying anything? Has he really been persuaded?"

"There's nothing we can do if Brother Zhou wants to go to Team One. It's just that we're too spineless."

"Indeed, we are now completely a burden to Brother Zhou."

While everyone was lamenting the passing of spring and worrying unnecessarily, Zhou Li's resounding reply came from the room.

"President Pei, please don't talk about my teammates like that! Every single one of them is an outstanding player! WE.A's success today wouldn't be possible without the contributions of every single member of this team! Without them, there would be no me! They are the ones who made me who I am! During my time with WE.A, I've already come to regard them as my brothers and family! So please, please leave. There's no way I can leave WE.A!"

Soft sobbing could be heard outside the door.

"I'm going to training!"

Sima the Old Thief's gaze was resolute.

"I'm going to training too!"

Xi Ye's steps were equally firm.

"I'm going to organize the data for the upcoming match against OMG!"

Watching the crowd disperse, the Khan scratched his head and muttered something.

"Ugh...why did he leave? He's going to get yelled at to death."

Saint Gun strikes Khan hard on the back of the head again.

"What the hell are you muttering about? If you keep talking, I'll teach you a lesson for Brother Zhou!"

The Khan jumped up angrily.

"Why should we go against the grain? We can't even get on the field!"

After Khan finished speaking, he looked at Flandre's raised fist, made a strange "Give me a fist" sound, and ran away like a monkey.

Watching everyone leave, Zhu Kai sighed with emotion.

"It's so great to be young! I'll go make you dinner right now! Tonight we're having instant noodles with Banlangen (a traditional Chinese medicine) and Lao Gan Ma (a popular chili sauce) with ice cream!"

Just as he was about to take action, he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

Zhu Kai turned his head and found that Zhou Li was standing behind him at some point.

"Xiao Zhu, how's the task I gave you a while ago coming along?"

Zhu Kai paused for a moment before realizing what was happening, then smiled and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I have a great time chatting with UZI every day now. We, no, you two are already inseparable best friends."

Zhou Li nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, then please contact him for me and ask him to have dinner with me tomorrow."

Royal Never Give Up (RNG) eSports Club.

"Oh!! Oh!! I did it!!"

Insec jumped up from his gaming chair in excitement, grabbing Zero beside him and shouting excitedly:

"See that? I finally recreated the Prince's EQ flash dragon steal from that day in Zhouli!"

Zero clapped his hands, but immediately poured cold water on the idea.

"He used it immediately during the match, but you've been practicing for three days."

insec rolled his eyes.

"Damn it, what a disappointment! Isn't this the kind of thing where practice makes perfect? ​​Once you get it right the first time, you'll get better and better at it. Let me demonstrate it for you again!"

Zero was clearly not interested in this and said:

"No need. By the way, have you mastered your Lee Sin Zhou-style Triangle Kill?"

Upon hearing Zero mention Lee Sin's triangle kill, Insec's expression instantly turned even more grim.

You should know that he is hailed as the world's number one blind monk.

However, Zhou Li's triangle kill in the game is something he still can't replicate.

It's not that Insec's hand speed is the problem, but rather that to execute Zhou's triangle kill, you first need to know the trick of Lee Sin's ward flash W.

Without someone telling you, you really can't find the trick to it in a short time.

Even in AI matches, they couldn't replicate the plays their opponents made in the game, which was a huge blow to insec.

UZI sat on the other side, glancing at the loud and boisterous Koreans with a pursed mouth.

He always felt that the Koreans were completely overrated.

He's not the world's best Lee Sin player; he's more like the world's best CJB (a character known for his incompetence).

Moreover, this guy loves to nag and boss me around, and UZI has been annoyed with him for a long time.

Now they can't even execute a single combo from Zhou Li, and I don't know what they're trying to prove all day.

Fortunately, my salary is higher than this Korean's.

Otherwise, UZI would really flip the table.
