Xiao Bai and Yuan Qian's startlingly loud laughter came from TTC's break room.

Xiao Bai was laughing so hard that he almost toppled over. He braced himself against the sofa and gestured at Pine, who was sitting next to the door. "P-baby, hurry up and lock the door."

Pine said, "For what?"

Xiao Bai reached a hand out to brush away his tears from laughing. "I'm afraid that Doufufu will momentarily take it too hard and storm our break room to do something irredeemable."

Ding-ge had a hand propped up against the wall as he stared at the television broadcast, thinking that this was definitely because he had been getting by too comfortably during these past few years.

As a result, the heavens sent a person like this down to torment him.

He turned to ask the team's assistant manager next to him, "Do you still remember how much the termination fee was in that contract we signed with Soft?"

The assistant manager said, "I don't remember. What's wrong?"

Ding-ge: "Let's terminate the contract with him. I'll pay the fee and treat it as if I'm buying myself happiness for the latter half of my life."

"..."

Even though he said that, he still had to take responsibility for the mess that his own team's player created.

A few seconds later, Ding-ge clenched his teeth and said, "In a bit, I'll go check out what the LPL allows players to say. Although Jian Rong didn't say many decent things at all, at least he didn't use any profanity, so it shouldn't be too severe. There's also Weibo... where are you going?"

Lu Boyuan opened the break room door. "Bathroom."

Currently, all the staff members were busy, so the restroom was completely empty.

Lu Boyuan had just turned on the sink faucet when he heard a voice come from behind him—

"You gave those kills away quite skillfully."

Lu Boyuan didn't bother looking back. He cast his eyes downward and washed his hands. "How come you still haven't left yet?"

"We didn't have any matches today, so we were originally going to leave... but then your team's mid laner locked in Zed the moment he went up, and our mid laner suggested leaving after watching the game here. That's why we stayed until now." XIU paused before laughing. "That's right, I just heard that you were the one who recruited Soft? When did you start also managing who the team recruited?"

Lu Boyuan repeated for the nth time, "Not managing, just a recommendation. I don't have the final say in who the team recruits."

On the surface, that was true, but Lu Boyuan had been in TTC for many years now and had also seized countless excellent achievements for the team. The team would attach high importance to even one of his casually spoken comments.

"But your team's new mid laner really is pretty good. His gameplay and awareness both aren't bad. The only thing is that his personality is too ostentatious. It's one thing if he uses Zed in a competition, but he even dares to make trouble during the post-game interview." XIU walked over to him and ran the water in the next sink, quickly washing his hands before he fished out cigarettes from his pocket. "Want a stick?"

"Ding-ge will fine me ten thousand yuan for one cigarette." Lu Boyuan shot a look at the cigarettes in XIU's hand before swiftly averting his gaze again. "If you help me pay that, I'll smoke a few with you."

"Forget it then..." XIU lit a cigarette for himself before he suddenly recalled something and chuckled. "On my way over, I saw that Ding-ge was in the middle of lecturing your mid laner. In my opinion, he should be lecturing you. If you hadn't let Soft take those three kills, it's not certain who the MVP would've been."
