After the system malfunctioned, I became the person in charge of LCK.

"Sang-hyeok, I'm really hurt that you don't trust me at all."

"Then I swear, I swear, okay?"

Lee Doo-hwan sighed, then said in a serious tone, "I swear to God, this is absolutely the last time!"

If I ever make you treat me to a meal again, may I be struck by lightning!

Because of Lee Doo-hwan, Lee Sang-hyeok had some understanding of Chinese culture, so he knew what this so-called oath was.

Hearing Lee Doo-hwan say that, he felt a sense of relief.

Having made such a solemn oath, I suppose he won't act like a scoundrel again!

"Oh well."

In the end, Lee Sang-hyeok agreed.

As everyone knows, Lee Sang-hyeok is famously "frugal".

Every time I go to the GG store to buy GG items, I have to bring something back with me.

Getting him to treat us to a meal is, if not impossible, extremely difficult.

But now?

Kim Chang-dong and Cuzz looked at Lee Sang-hyeok, who had agreed to treat them to dinner.

The group looked at each other, and finally all showed expressions of disbelief.

This world is insane!!!

Since they had decided to go out for dinner, no one was going to delay any longer.

"By the way, where did that little Zhou Xuan go?" Pei Junzhi looked around but didn't see him.

"I don't know, it was just here a moment ago," Cuzz said.

"Never mind him, it's rare for Sang-hyeok to treat us to dinner!" Lee Jae-wan was very excited.

"We have to thank Doo-hwan hyung for this. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had this good fortune!"

"If SKT only has one Faker, then it's me, Doo-hwan!"

The group chatted and laughed as they walked out of the base.

Meanwhile.

Lee Joo-hyun also approached Jung Hoi-yoon, who had just taken over as manager, and complained to him that Lee Doo-hwan had slapped him twice when picking him up at the airport earlier that day.

"You mean Doo-hwan slapped you twice just now?"

Upon hearing the complaint, Zheng Huirun put down what she was holding.

"Yes, manager, everyone else can testify that my face still hurts!" Li Zhouxuan said, feeling very aggrieved.

I've only just met them for the first time!

Who is this enthusiastic when they first meet someone?

Unexpectedly, no sooner had he finished speaking than he heard Zheng Huirun muttering in confusion from the front.

"When did this kid become so gentle..."

Lee Joo-hyun: "???"

What does that mean?!

What do you mean by being so gentle?

He can change his expression so easily, and you call that gentleness?

"Zhou Xuan, I know about this, but don't take it too seriously."

The club has just been renamed T1, so we can't afford to have too much conflict with these veteran players. So please bear with us for now.

But don't worry, the club won't forget you!

Also, be smarter at the base, don't say anything carelessly, and don't make Doo-hwan angry.

You need to understand that Coach Kim, who just arrived, and his superiors intend to groom you to be the new face of T1 and replace Lee Sang-hyeok, so temporary forbearance doesn't mean anything.

Zheng Huirun wasn't lying about that.

After all, T1 has gone three years without a championship. Even if Lee Sang-hyeok is a three-time world champion mid laner, it doesn't matter. The consecutive losses in the World Championship have visibly reduced his value.

Clubs aren't philanthropists. If you have no value and they still spend so much money supporting you every year, the club will naturally have to find a way to replace you, gradually marginalize you, and replace you with someone who doesn't have much money but is obedient, who can also take over your previous honors and achievements.

"So you're just going to let it go like that, saying I got slapped twice?!"

Despite hearing Jung Hoe-yoon say that there were plans for him to replace Lee Sang-hyeok in T1, Lee Joo-hyun was excited and looking forward to that day.

But the thought of Lee Doo-hwan's two slaps made Lee Joo-hyun feel uncertain.

He's not stupid; replacing someone isn't something that can be done overnight. But to put it bluntly, Lee Doo-hwan can do whatever he wants.

You told me to be more shrewd and not upset the other person, but the problem is he always manages to find some inexplicable excuse to pick a fight.

and……

Does he need a reason to hit me?

He suddenly attacked me when I picked him up at the airport!

"You got slapped twice, so of course we can't just let it go like this."

Upon hearing Zheng Huirun's words, Li Zhouxuan was immediately overjoyed. "Then, Manager, how do you plan to punish him?"

"Keep this in mind for now. We'll settle accounts with them later when we've used up all their value!"

Lee Joo-hyun: "..."

He glanced at Zheng Huirun, who did not seem to be lying at all.

So you mean he hit me, and I got angry first?

This is this...

In a fit of anger, he got angry for a moment?

……

the other side.

As Lee Doo-hwan and his group were leaving the base, they happened to encounter a child.

"Who is that?" Lee Doo-hwan pointed to the departing figure.

"Douhuan, his name is Cui Youqi, he's the top laner who just joined our youth training team!" Li Zaiwan quickly said, "This kid's skills are pretty good, I feel he has a bright future."

"Is the future promising?" Lee Doo-hwan smiled. "I have a feeling he has a rebellious streak!"

"Besides him, there's another little guy named Lee Min-hyung that I think is pretty good too," Bae Joon-sik chimed in from the side.

"He is SKT's last AD carry, and I feel that he has a bright future."

"Jun-sik, it's rare to see someone you praise like this."

"I'd like to see that," Lee Doo-hwan replied.

"He doesn't seem to be here today. I'll bring him to say hello to you another day."

However, Doo-hwan, that kid is a little unruly!

"Unruly and rebellious?" Lee Doo-hwan chuckled upon hearing this. "Jun-sik, have you forgotten what I'm best at?"

Without wasting too much time on this topic, the group went out for a meal.

Perhaps because it was a rare occasion for Lee Sang-hyeok to treat them to a meal, Bae Joon-sik and Lee Jae-wan ate to their hearts' content.

They ate far more than they usually eat, giving the impression that they had starved themselves for three days and three nights just for this meal.

This made Lee Sang-hyeok extremely heartbroken!

However, when he thought of Lee Doo-hwan swearing to heaven that this was the last time, he gradually accepted it. After all, a short pain is worse than a long one!

……

After finishing his meal, Lee Doo-hwan said goodbye to Lee Sang-hyeok and prepared to leave.

"Going home so early?"

"What, you don't expect me to buy you a coffee after dinner, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Lee Sang-hyeok quickly said, "I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, everyone dispersed.

……

Since his parents are both working in South Korea, while Lee Doo-hwan has been in Korea for the past two years, he was filled with excitement to be back with his family.

Unfortunately, this excitement vanished without a trace the moment my mother asked if I had found a girlfriend back in China.

So after sitting for a short while, he decisively ran away.
