The Failed Knight of Full-Time Master

Chapter 176 The present and future of Excellent Era [can be skipped]

(The plot introducing Excellent Era’s current situation can be skipped as appropriate.)
Not long after, Cui Li brought Xiao Shiqin to Tao Xuan's office.

After seeing Xiao Shiqin's face, which always gave people a sense of stability, Tao Xuan's worry slightly dissipated.

"Vice Captain Xiao, I want to hear about Excellent Era's current status."

Tao Xuan asked.

"Ah."

Although Xiao Shiqin didn't want to be called during the review, it was the boss's order after all, and it was always not good if he didn't come.

Xiao Shiqin then introduced to Tao Xuan the current status of the players and his views on the upcoming competition.

"Vice Captain Xiao, I just want to ask, what is our winning rate against Happy?"

Tao Xuan interrupted Xiao Shiqin and asked about his purpose.

Before, when Tao Xuan asked Xiao Shiqin this question, Xiao Shiqin would always give an answer like "If we can stabilize our mentality and work together to win Xingxin, I think there will be no problem."

But this time, Xiao Shiqin was silent.

There was silence for half a minute.

At this time, Tao Xuan's hands had begun to tremble.

"Vice Captain Xiao, I just want to know, what is our winning rate against Happy?"

Seeing that Xiao Shiqin didn't answer, Tao Xuan asked again.

But this time, Xiao Shiqin did not remain silent, but adjusted his glasses.

Because he lowered his head slightly and was covered by his hair, Tao Xuan did not see Xiao Shiqin's expression.

"I will try my best, and so will the other players of Excellent Era."

Xiao Shiqin raised his head halfway through speaking.

Only then did Tao Xuan see Xiao Shiqin's expression.

There is no longer the calmness and calmness that everything was stable before, but it is very solemn.

"Then, let God's will be yours in everything."

The words Xiao Shiqin destroyed Tao Xuan's last chance like a mountain.

"call……"

Tao Xuan put his trembling hands under the table and adjusted his breathing.

"Thank you for your hard work, Vice Captain Xiao. Let's go back and rest first."

Tao Xuan forced out a smile.

"Okay boss, you should also pay attention to your health."

Xiao Shiqin naturally noticed Tao Xuan's current state and said it out of politeness.

After Xiao Shiqin left, Tao Xuan and Cui Li were silent for nearly half a minute.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Tao Xuan hammered the table with one hand.

Because Xiao Shiqin was around, Tao Xuan had trouble getting angry.

But now, Cui Li is the only one in this room, so the situation is naturally different.

Therefore, Tao Xuan can vent his dissatisfaction freely.

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Tao Xuan continued to pound the table.

Cui Li didn't dare to speak and could only watch from the side.

If he spoke now, he would undoubtedly be acting as a punching bag for Tao Xuan.

"How could this happen! How could this happen?"

Tao Xuan gritted his teeth and looked at the championship trophies opposite.

"You get out for me too!"

Tao Xuan finally remembered that there was Cui Li next to him.

"Okay boss, please... pay attention to your health."

Cui Li originally wanted to turn around and leave, but before leaving, he decided to add one sentence.

The great ship Excellent Era is going to sink, but after all, Cui Li is also one of them.

Having worked together with Tao Xuan for so long, although the relationship has always been a superior-subordinate relationship, there is still some affection.

Therefore, Cui Li would say such a sentence more.

"……I see."

Tao Xuan was silent for a few seconds and said this when Cui Li immediately went out.

After Cui Li left, the entire office truly fell into silence.

Tao Xuan turned off the light, and only the light from outside faintly passed through the glass window, bringing some light to the room.

The room was dim.

Tao Xuan stood up and put things in order that were messed up because of his anger.

Picking up the half-filled tea cup, Tao Xuan came to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking down from here, you can just see the Xingxin Internet Cafe.

"It's so small."

Tao Xuan said this to himself.

Looking down from here, Xingxin looks like a small box.

Because of the distance, even the word "Xingxin" was unclear.

If Tao Xuan hadn't known about it, others wouldn't have been able to read these two words.

Although it was already eleven o'clock, there were still many people passing by. "H city is really big, there are so many people at this place."

Tao Xuan looked at the busy traffic below and sighed in his heart.

How long had it been since I had looked at the street scene like this?

Although he said that Xingxin Internet Cafe was really small, Tao Xuan did not mean to belittle it.

The reason why I went to belittle Xingxin before was because Ye Qiu was there.

Now I don’t belittle Xingxin because Ye Xiu is there.

After all, Tao Xuan also started from such a "small box".

At that time, I only had two and a half boys and a little girl, so I had great hope that one day I could lead a behemoth forward.

Now I do have such a behemoth in my hands, but I have lost those three people forever.

No matter how this season goes, Su Mucheng will leave next season.

Once Su Mucheng left, he really became a loner.

"It shouldn't be like this."

Tao Xuan sighed.

I don't know why I got to this point.

The pressure from shareholders behind the scenes?
The team's results?
still is……

Tao Xuan turned his head, and what caught his eyes was the team logo of Team Excellent Era.

"Maybe I'm still not suitable to be a team boss."

Tao Xuan walked to the trophy.

He touched the trophy with his hand.

But even if Xiao Shiqin loses his fighting spirit, Tao Xuan can't just give up now, he has to finish the last journey.

"You haven't left yet?"

Tao Xuan said abruptly.

Then the office door was pushed open.

It's Cui Li.

"Boss, what else do you want?"

Cui Li was a little worried about Tao Xuan's current mental state, so he did not leave immediately outside.

But unlike Cui Li's expectation of a scene of smashing things, the office was extremely quiet.

"You underestimate me too much. I won't give up on myself just because of this."

Tao Xuan said.

"What you said is very true."

Cui Li lowered his head and said.

"I won't care about the results of the competition anymore. Just tell Xiao Shiqin and let him do his best. If you have any needs, just ask him. If you think you can meet his requirements, then you will meet them."

Tao Xuan continued.

"I know the boss."

Although Cui Li wanted to ask what the investors would think, Cui Li took back his words when he saw the look in Tao Xuan's eyes.

"Before this is over, leave these things to me and you just do your best."

Tao Xuan patted Cui Li on the shoulder.

"Yes, boss."

Cui Li said solemnly.

"Go down, I really have nothing to do."

Tao Xuan said with a smile.

"Yes, boss!"

This time, Cui Li really left.

After seeing Cui Li entering the elevator, Tao Xuan took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

On the other end of the phone was a representative of the board of directors.

"I have decided that Excellent Era will be sold after this season... Yes, whether it enters the league or not... it is naturally the best for you to buy..."

In the office, Tao Xuan's intermittent words were heard.

After putting down the phone, Tao Xuan looked at the Excellent Era benchmark on the wall.

That gloomy heart suddenly became open-minded.

Excellent Era will not be disbanded even if it cannot return to the alliance.

But Tao Xuan was really tired.

The nine years in Excellent Era had exhausted the last bit of Tao Xuan's passion.

To the point of breaking up with the partners who worked together in the past.

"It can't go on like this."

Stop now and go to them and apologize.

Looking at Excellent Era's team logo, Tao Xuan suddenly felt relieved.

This twisted person I am.

Compared to being a boss or a player...

Perhaps it is better to be an ordinary spectator.
