Full-time master: I have a spirit behind me.

Chapter 648 Exclusive Interview
"Cheers!" The wine glasses and drink glasses collided with each other.

It is still the Xingfu Renjia restaurant, and it is still the private room that I often visit.

After casually dealing with a few press conferences, the entire Yu Jin team headed straight for the restaurant, where Chu Xue and Chu Xiong, the brother and sister, were already waiting.

Only Lao Wei and Chu Xiong were drinking, and everyone else's cups were filled with juice. Today, Lao Wei's cup was filled with white wine, and after drinking most of it in one gulp, Lao Wei's face turned slightly red.

Lao Wei hasn't had a drink since returning to the professional league. He took a big sip after a long time and inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, so he started to cough dryly.

"Drink slowly, Old Wei." Fang Shijing sighed helplessly and put two pieces of food on Old Wei's plate with his chopsticks.

"Ahem, what a mistake, this wine is pretty good!" Old Wei looked at the wine bottle.

"I got it from my father's wine cellar when I came back from home this time." Chu Xiong chuckled twice: "Do you want to try it? You won't have a headache after drinking it."

"Forget it, let's wait until they retire." Old Wei shook his head and filled his glass again: "Come on, let's drink."

Li Wen looked at the bottle in front of Lao Wei with some curiosity. Chu Xue, who had been paying attention to him, whispered, "Want to try it?"

"No, I'm just a little curious."

"If you want to drink it, I'll bring back two more bottles next time so we can try it together. I'm quite curious too." Chu Xue said with a smile.

"Sister, please don't teach Xiao Wen bad things. Xiao Wen only takes a sip of beer. After just one sip, he can probably sleep until the next morning." Chu Xiong said with a smile.

"Hiss..." Bai Shu took a deep breath and lowered his head to concentrate on eating.

The others followed suit without even looking up.

Originally, I always heard Chu Xiong say how cruel his sister was and how merciless she was when she beat him... You deserved it, brother!

Chu Xue took a deep breath. No matter where you are, there are rules that prohibit beating children at the dinner table. So she just endured it.

Chu Xue slowed down and looked at Lao Wei: "By the way, Brother Wei, a few clubs said they wanted to invite you to be a coach these days. I pushed them for you."

The news that Lao Wei was going to retire was semi-public, and some teams that were struggling to survive were actually quite interested in it. An old man in the family is like a treasure, and inviting an experienced veteran like Lao Wei to be a coach is a sure win.

If all else fails, we can always invite someone to manage the guild. The Blue Brook Guild founded by Lao Wei is now one of the three major guilds in the entire God's Domain. No matter what, there will definitely be many benefits to inviting someone to manage the guild.

However, they didn’t know that Lao Wei from the Embers Club had actually invested in the club. As a shareholder, it was impossible to poach him no matter what.

"Okay." Old Wei ate some peanuts and said, "By the way, Madam Boss, from tomorrow on, let me handle the guild's affairs, okay?"

"Okay." Chu Xue nodded, naturally having no objection.

Chu Xiong had a lot of opinions, because he was in charge of the guild affairs now. It wasn't that he wanted to grab power from Lao Wei, but because... Chu Xue said that in the future Chu Xiong would follow her and start to learn some business arrangements to prepare for taking over her own company.

Chu Xiong was naturally not happy about this. He would rather follow Lao Wei and become a big shot in the online game than to follow his elder sister and study.

Usually, Chu Xue was away on business trips most of the time, and I had a great time at the club, at most I would get beaten up once a week. If I followed Chu Xue, I would probably get beaten up as soon as I remembered...

"that……"

"Shut up and eat." Chu Xue glared at Chu Xiong.

"Oh……"

Generally speaking, the meal was quite pleasant. Old Wei was already drunk and unconscious, and was carried away by Zhang Jiale and Fang Shijing, while Chu Xiong was supported by Bai Shu and Qiu Fei.

The two of them were a little far apart, but there was no way they could be closer. They were about to become sworn brothers in the private room of the Happy Family.

[Old Wei's worries are finally resolved.] Su Muqiu smiled and shook his head: [This time, it can be considered an honorable retirement. Unlike the second season when he was beaten to retirement by his own rookies, it can be considered a decent ending, right?]

Li Wen nodded slightly: "But, Boss Wei is still reluctant to let go..."

"Every professional player is reluctant to give up the stage where they can fully display themselves." Lu Liang said with some emotion: "In fact, most professional players are not even willing to transfer.

Surrounded by teammates you trust and a team worth your efforts, basically no one would choose to leave unless they have no other options or are too ambitious..."

"Yeah." Lin Jingyan nodded with emotion. He was the kind of person who had no choice but to leave.

And Fang Rui...

Fang Rui looked at Lin Jingyan with some resentment, until Lin Jingyan felt extremely embarrassed: "Then tell me, which type am I, Old Lin..."

"Hehe, didn't you say you're tired of love?" Lin Jingyan looked away awkwardly, avoiding Fang Rui's middle finger.

Arriving at the entrance of the club, Chu Xue drove back to her residence. Although she also had a room in the club, Chu Xue seldom stayed here. Most of the time she was on business trips, and she would stay in her own residence for a short period of time. If she was really tired and had no other choice, she would just stay in the club.

By the way, no one from the Embers team has ever been to Chu Xue’s residence, not even Chu Xiong. Once, when Chu Xiong was drunk, Chu Xue would rather throw him on the street than take him home for a night.

Chu Xue sighed and thought of the newspaper clippings of Xiao Wen since his debut in her room, as well as the figures of Zhi Bai Shou Hei, He Guang Tong Chen, and now Qiu Mu Su that filled the entire bookshelf. Of course, there were also some photos of Li Wen that had never appeared on the market. These were all given to Chu Xue by the endorsement brands.

Thinking of this, Chu Xue's face turned red again.

So, there is really... no way to invite anyone to visit.

After much effort, the others threw the two drunks into their own rooms, placed two bottles of water on the bedside table, and went back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, early in the morning, Lao Wei was eating fried dough sticks and looking at Xiao Zhao sitting in front of him in surprise: "Interview? Interview me? What's there to interview about me?"

Xiao Zhao, who had been promoted to the head of K City E-sports House, laughed happily and said, "Boss Wei, don't be modest. You are the talk of the town now!"

"Tsk, you are really good at talking! Well, come on, I'll do an interview with you to make up for your performance." Lao Wei nodded. When the others heard what was going on, they pricked up their ears and began to listen carefully.

Xiao Zhao nodded with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to you, Boss Wei. If some questions are too sensitive to answer, just tell me directly."

"You are quite a righteous man." Old Wei smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, just ask."

Xiao Zhao scratched his head awkwardly: "Well, let me ask you, Boss Wei... First of all, the first question is, is it true or false that everyone is talking about your upcoming retirement?"

"Really?" Old Wei shrugged nonchalantly. "Although, sometimes I really don't know how this piece of news spread, but... this news is true."

"Is that really the case..." Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Originally, I thought that it was Boss Wei and you guys who needed the tactics in the last game, so you stretched out the line and started to lay out..."

"..."

The other members of Ember who were eavesdropping on the side looked at each other. Has the reputation of their team become so bad now? If this news were spread out, there would still be people who would...

amount……

Everyone remembered how Lao Wei almost jumped out of his face last night and sighed helplessly.

Things like damage to one's reputation are not entirely groundless.

"You must be joking. My nickname in the alliance is the honest and handsome young man. How could I lie? And setting up a scheme is obviously not something I can do!" Old Wei said shamelessly.

"Um... yesterday..." Before Xiao Zhao could finish his words, Old Wei took over.

"What yesterday? Yesterday has already passed. Why do you still care so much about it?" Old Wei shook his head: "You must learn to look forward, young man!"

So, just refuse to admit it. Xiao Zhao nodded: "Then, can you tell me why Wei Chen decided to bid farewell to the professional arena this season?"

The action of tearing the dough sticks paused for a moment, and Lao Wei put down what he was holding: "In fact, I have always been an old man who cares about face very much. Everyone knows this.

Yes, I just care about my reputation. I chose to leave when I could still play for two years.

Don't talk about rumors or not. Retirement is indeed related to Xiao Yu. I was once considered one of the top professional players, right? After being beaten three times in a row by the kids in the training camp, no matter how shameless they are, they know that they are indeed a bit of a hindrance.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu did a good job. "Old Wei let out a long sigh: "Now, I actually haven't regretted my decision. Leaving at that time was actually the best time. If I waited for another two years, everything might not be the same. Who knows, I would be like Old Lin. If you are not decent, others will help you to be decent.

Moreover, if my professional lifespan is completely exhausted by that time, I am afraid I will never meet these guys again. Although I know them all, to be honest, I never thought that I would be in the same team with them one day.

Lin Jingyan was a rising star in the early days. He was so loyal that no one would even think of poaching him.

Da Sun and Lao Zhang, there is no need to say more about these two. Their paintings of blooming flowers and blood-stained scenes have amazed countless people.

Lu Liang, who was at the peak of his powers at the beginning, and who could wield the same skill as Ye Xiu...

These are things we can only think about in our dreams. How great it would be if we could work with them.

But it happened to me.”

Lao Wei laughed with emotion: "In fact, the biggest reason why I was lured here from the Internet cafe in my hometown was because I was unwilling to make the Silver Weapon Death Hand, which was exploded by Xiao Wen, and then I came here in a daze.

Looking back now, maybe that was the hint that Rong Yao gave me?

Last season, we won the championship together. That day, I really felt like I was living in a dream. It was unreal, exciting, and thrilling. That feeling... it’s really hard to describe.

I told everyone that I could still play, I could still win the championship, and I was no worse than anyone else."

Lao Wei's face was full of nostalgia, while the others listened quietly. It seemed that the only sounds in the restaurant were Xiao Zhao's shorthand and Lao Wei's memories.

"But from the beginning of this season, I realized that it was time for me to retire.

My operation and finger flexibility have declined to the extreme. In a while, I don’t think I will even be able to reach 200.

In fact, I should have mentioned this at the end of last season." Lao Wei said with a smile, his face was not sad, nor free and easy, just as a narrator, he spoke these things calmly: "So, I realized that this is another hint from Glory that I should leave, leave this stage, and leave here forever...

However, I felt a little unwilling to do so, so I took on the death match time, leaving time for others to rest and warm up.

To be honest, I didn’t expect that we could win two of the three games. Even I am surprised by this!”

Lao Wei drank a sip of soy milk: "As for why these three games are needed, it is to adjust the remaining problems found in the first half of the regular season. In fact, this problem was quite serious when we faced Team Happy again...

If we continue like this, even if we can make it to the playoffs, we will just be serving food to others.

In this situation, as long as there is one person willing to bear most of the pressure and miss the playoffs, it can be anyone, but... I am the most suitable." Lao Wei shook his head.

Xiao Zhao shook his sore wrists and looked at Lao Wei's mental journey. He felt indescribably sad. "Boss Wei, have you ever regretted becoming a professional player?"

"Regret? Of course I have regretted it. When Xiao Yu killed me alone, and when I was defeated by others, I regretted the instructions I gave during the game." Lao Wei said, "But if you mean whether I regret becoming a professional player, then my answer is, never...

Glory to me, and to us, will never be the answer to regret. "

Lao Wei laughed wantonly and ostentatiously: "The only thing I regret is why the professional league was not established earlier and why I didn't become a professional player earlier. Just like that, I wasted my best time...

So, you ask me if I regret it? Isn't it natural? "

"We are professional players. What do you think? Regret? We have never regretted it!"
