For Love of the Game - Chapter 242
The end of November is a good season for hot springs, and many hot spring hotels are already full. In the end, it was Jiang Yunhua’s help to book a hot spring hotel in Oita County, Kyushu. The air ticket is relatively simple. Arrived in Oita Prefecture.
Because the team’s documentary this year will be broadcast in December, they also brought a photographer to play this time, just to provide winter material for the documentary.
Jiang Yunhua booked an open-air hot spring hotel for them, two people in a room, in addition to the hot spring water provided for bathing in the house, there is also a public open-air hot spring in the backyard. In the private room, you don’t have to worry about the embarrassment of bathing with outsiders.
Halfway through the meal, Song Xueyang said, “This meal can be considered a practice for Xiao Ming. When we return to China, your withdrawal procedures will be approved, right?”
will never come.
Fan Jingming put down his chopsticks, “Haha, yes. In fact, when I got off the plane yesterday, the manager called me to tell me that it had been approved, and you can leave anytime before the end of the transfer period.”
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Shi Yi next to him, and Shi Yi poked at the pork chop rice in the bowl, his expression was indifferent.
Zhou Ning also put down his chopsticks and asked with concern, “Have you moved on? Where do you plan to develop?”
“Not yet,” Fan Jingming smiled, “but I saw that Shanghai Xingyuan Entertainment was recruiting trainees, and I submitted my resume to try it out. Two small studios also contacted me, But I feel unreliable.”
Zhou Jing asked, “Brother Xiao Ming still planning to be a model?”
“I’m afraid not, 26 years old, it’s too old to be a model,” he sighed, pretending to be pitiful, “Hey, when you get old, you will be despised wherever you go.”
“What do you want to do then?”
, In addition to games, there is no one skill at all.”
Starfish asked innocently, “Do you want to learn a beauty salon? My mother said that she would be an apprentice in three months.”
Everyone couldn’t help laughing twice, Song Xueyang teased, “I see, I can also start a live broadcast by the way, I’m sure it will be popular.”
Fan Jingming also burst out laughing, “Okay, Xingxing, if these families fail, I’ll go to beauty salon with my auntie!”
Song Xueyang clashed with him, “Don’t worry too much, we have been friends for so many years, if you have any difficulties, we will definitely help you find a way. I have a friend Beidrio, although it is a trick now, but It’s okay, at least there is a stable source of film, I mentioned to him before, if you are not afraid of hard work, I can give you his contact information and let him show you.”
Fan Jingming smiled and looked at Shi Yi next to him, “Thank you, but forget it, I plan to develop in Shanghai.”
The starfish asked, “Why? Are you not a northerner?”
Fan Jingming casually hugged Shi Yi’s shoulder and said jokingly, “Let me stay in Shanghai!”
Shi Yi’s heart skipped a beat, and felt that Fan Jingming’s hand on his shoulder was like a soldering iron, and it was extremely hot through the thin shirt.
Everyone didn’t think much about it. Fan Jingming and Zhou Ning were the earliest team members of Fengyue. They lived in Shanghai for six years and must have an extraordinary affection for this city.
Shen Huai said, “It’s better to stay in Shanghai, and you can come back often.”
“That’s right, Yushen is still distressed! If I can’t hang out one day, can Fengyue’s dormitory borrow me for two days?”
Song Xueyang said, “It’s fine to borrow you to live for two years.”
“Good bro! There’s nothing in vain, cheers!”
The wine glasses collided, and the dull atmosphere was relieved a lot.
Fan Jingming put down his glass and asked, “What about you, captain? I’m leaving, what kind of team do you plan to recruit?”
This is also what everyone is curious about. The career of the new players is related to the lineup and team play next year.
Song Xueyang said calmly, “How about you? What kind of teammates do you want? I’ll consider everyone’s opinions.”
Zhou Ning said, “I think let’s have some meat. Once Xiao Ming is gone, I can’t handle it alone.”
Mentioning this, Zhou Ning felt bitter.
When he encounters a violent fire lineup like WG and Thunder, he is really a gray screen every minute, and the KDA (kill to death ratio) throughout the year is not unexpectedly counted backwards.
Song Xueyang nodded and asked, “What about Shiyi?”
“Me?”
“What kind of partner do you want?”
“Let’s see Captain,” he whispered, “I think another Berserker will do.”
Shen Huai said concisely, “Control.”
Fight, now that Fan Jingming is gone, and Zhou Ning is in the front row and in control alone, the pressure is not so great.
Zhou Jing said, “Treat.”
Zhou Jing’s heart was scalded, and it was rare that she did not talk back to Starfish.
Song Xueyang smiled and said, “The team already has Zhou Jing, and having one more support is really a drag, especially in rescuing the hostages. The lineup with dual support is not easy to play.”
Fan Jingming said, “If you can find a powerful poison-type holy light, it would be good, both flesh and output, although there is no control, but 1V1, 2V2 are not false, it is too hard to find .”
Poison-type Holy Light has relatively high requirements on operation and awareness. Power is god, and vegetables are scum.
Song Xueyang said, “Last year, we only recruited one person in the training camp. The club was very dissatisfied and asked me to recruit people in the training camp this year. However, we won the world championship this year. Good seedlings, I plan to let them practice for a while, and then watch them in mid-December.”
Fan Jingming nodded again and again, “Yes, how about being the main selection as soon as you join the team? Anyway, you have to have a good experience in the training camp.”
Hai Xing twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that Song Xueyang did not come to pick people until the last week of the transfer period when he joined the team, which made people panic in a month of training camp.
After dinner, everyone went back to the room and made an appointment to come out for a hot spring. Zhou Jing was inconvenient. She planned to rest in the room for a while, so that everyone could leave her alone and have a good time. .
You don’t say a few words when you’re leaving, my brother really hurts you in vain.”
He turned Shiyi’s head to himself, but when he lowered his head, he panicked.
Shi Yi’s eyes were red and moist, and tears were about to roll out of her eyes.
Fan Jingming quickly released him and coaxed, “I’m joking, I know you don’t want me to go, I’m just teasing you.”
Shi Yi glared at him with big red eyes, turned around, picked up the bathrobe and walked to the bathroom, and after a while, there was the sound of rushing water.
Fan Jingming didn’t dare to follow, just stood at the door and knocked gently on the glass door.
“I don’t want you to be too sad. I promised to accompany you in Shanghai and I won’t leave. You see today, the captain introduced me to Beipio, but I didn’t go. As for you, there will be new ones. Teammates, just like when Xiaosheng was at the beginning, they were not familiar with the new classmates at first, but later they became very good friends. As for me, I will stay in Shanghai until you retire and until you leave the city…”
The more Fan Jingming talked, the more he felt like a bitter old mother. When he realized it, the sound of water inside had stopped.
He heard footsteps from far to near, then the doorknob being held.
Fan Jingming’s heart was raised, he wore a bathrobe, wiped his hair, and walked out refreshingly, “Brother Xiaoming, go take a shower, and go outside to take a hot spring.”
Fan Jingming stared at him for a while, he looked much better, and the red eyes disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
Fan Jingming understood, took out the bathrobe and walked to the bathroom, “OK! Wait a moment, brother, let you see what a model looks like!”
The door closed softly, and there was a sound of water splashing inside.
Shi Yi smiled lightly, and secretly stuffed the gift he prepared in advance into Fan Jingming’s suitcase.
An hour later, everyone gathered in the hot spring in the backyard, and Ge You was lying on the starfish, only showing his small head, “It’s so comfortable~~~”
Zhou Ning put the towel on his head and took a selfie and sent it to Guan He, and he received a reply from there after a while.
Guan He: Protect yourself.
Zhou Ning laughed and murmured, “neuropathy.”
Shen Huai came early, his face was reddened by the steam of the hot spring water, he leaned on one side and closed his eyes, while Song Xueyang half leaned on the stone edge to help him peel the oranges.
It’s a bit cold outside this season, but it’s hot in the hot springs again. The feeling of alternating hot and cold is like eating a popsicle in the hot summer, it’s very refreshing.
Because they knew that Fan Jingming was leaving, everyone came over to chat with him one by one, Shen Huai was no exception, Fan Jingming thought he was here to say goodbye to him, but he didn’t expect Shen Huai to speak .
“Are you interested in signing a contract with Shen’s Group Shanghai Branch? I asked Uncle Jin, the branch can let Brother Liu take you, he is my former agent, before me It drags him down. In fact, he has a good eye for acting and seeing people. And he said, if you want, he just has a resource he wants to recruit, but there is no suitable candidate. “
Fan Jingming could hear that it was really sincere and sincere for a person like Shen Huai to recommend so much to him, without any politeness.
Although the Shen Group is not comparable to several well-known entertainment companies in the circle, it has Shen Nuo as a signboard. Many popular stars.
In addition to Shen Nuo’s reputation, he no longer cares about the salary. Many times he will reduce the salary to make friends with some capable directors and screenwriters. , the Shen Group will have resource channels that other entertainment companies do not have.
Fan Jingming was also moved once, but this famous company rarely openly recruits people, and will not sign an older leftover man like him. Second, the Shen Group is developing in Beijing. , and he wanted to stay in Shanghai.
He immediately asked, “Shen Group also established a company in Shanghai?”
Shen Huai nodded, “Well, the branch that was just established, you can become a veteran after signing it at this time.”
Fan Jingming, who is a veteran and not a veteran, doesn’t care, the key is that a regular film and television company is willing to sign him, and there are film sources when he joins the job. Fan Jingming has worked as a model and knows that resources are hard to come by. He is leaving What a huge back door!
Fan Jingming wanted to hug Shen Huai for a kiss, but he held back under Song Xueyang’s coveting eyes.
“Shen Huai, will you inherit the Shen Group in the future?”
Shen Huai hummed, “Should.”
“Should?”
“If my dad didn’t carry me with an illegitimate child.”
“Then I don’t think Teacher Shen will.”
“I don’t think so.”
The two looked at each other and smiled, Fan Jingming continued, “Shen Huai, I really admire you, others are afraid that money and career issues will affect their relationship, so try to avoid getting involved with friends in this regard, you are better , not only did not avoid suspicion, but also took the initiative to invite me to your company, not afraid that I would cause trouble for you in the future?”
Shen Huai smiled, “With your words, what should I worry about?”
Fan Jingming patted his chest, “Don’t worry, Shen Huai, I will keep this kindness in my heart, no matter what happens in the future, I will never complain to you.”
After he promised, he asked curiously, “What is the source?”
Shen Huai said, “Movie.”
“Isn’t it?” Fan Jingming was shocked. He thought it would be a TV series or a web series. After all, the starting point of the movie was too high. Have a movie?
“It’s not good for me, at my level, right?”
Shen Huai said, “I know you plan to let Uncle Jin help you to pay attention when you retire this year. I wanted to tell you when I was eating, and then I think it’s better to tell you after I’m sure. Don’t worry, We won the world championship this year, and there has also been a wave of e-sports on the Internet. The partner intends to take the opportunity to make an inspirational movie related to e-sports to catch up with the trend. You are popular in the e-sports circle, and you are a retired professional player. The partner is very willing to accept you, and you can just play in your true colors.”
“Fuck!” Fan Jingming exclaimed, his eyes were glowing, “Shen Huai, you are just like Nuwa’s golden thighs!”
Shen Huai smiled, raised his hand and gave him a high five, “Waiting for your new movie, Fan Yingdi.”
Fan Jingming said, “Okay, Mr. Shen!”
Everyone had a great time in Japan this time. For Fan Jingming, the problem of employment has been solved, and every day has been very nourishing.
After returning to the team, everyone got together for the last time for a live broadcast. During the live broadcast, Fan Jingming personally announced to the fans that he had completed the retirement procedures. This is the last time to play games with everyone.
The fans couldn’t help crying, especially when they learned that Fan Jingming would not stay in the e-sports circle after retiring.
Fan Jingming smiled and asked everyone to continue to support Fengyue, and Shi Yi, who supported the demolition team, didn’t say a word about his contract with Shen’s Group.
The next day, Fan Jingming left the team. He wanted to go home and stop by the head office in Beijing to sign the contract.
Everyone took him to the airport together, and there were fans who came to hear the news. The scene was as tragic as life and death.
Fan Jingming said goodbye to everyone one by one, and opened his hands to hug Shiyi.
“Goodbye, partner, don’t worry, I’ll remind you to cut your hair as scheduled.”
After he finished speaking, he picked up the suitcase and waved goodbye to everyone, Shiyi felt the generous palm stroke over his head, looked at the back carrying the suitcase away, in the bottom of his heart Say to yourself, come on, you have to work hard with his share from today!
After returning to the team, it also ushered in a vacation. Shiyi has been busy with training and competitions all year, and finally he has time to go home to visit his parents.
Haixing and Zhou Jing hired a private teacher to teach them English. The two devoted themselves to foreign language learning, like preparing for the third year of high school.
Zhou Ning brought his parents back to Nanjing. He got a lot of championship bonuses and year-end dividends this year, and he paid off the money he owed Guan He in one go.
Guan He is about to leave for London, his parents are there, he adapts to the environment ahead of time, and it is just in time for New Year’s Eve with his family.
The two said goodbye at the airport. Guan He held his hand and said, “Wait for me, I’ll call you when I’m settled.”
Zhou Ning smiled and waved, “I know, I know, help me find the way in advance.”
Guan He’s hand tightened, “You will come to me!”
“Of course you have to take advantage of it, Senior Guan.”
Guan He suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly, “I will send you the contact information when I get there, you are not allowed to ignore me or hide from me, you can discuss anything with me at any time. , Uncle’s side, I have asked someone to pay attention to the appropriate match, and I will notify you as soon as there is news, you… take care. “
Zhou Ning felt sour at what he said, but he still waved his hand with a smile, “I know, you go! Don’t worry!”
He has been waiting in the waiting hall, chatting with Guan He on WeChat, waiting for Guan He’s plane to take off from the airport, the sound of rumbling sounded from above his head, he got up and left, feeling lost in his heart, Something seemed to fly away with Guan He.
This feeling is not unfamiliar, just like when he left Guanhe and came to Fengyue six years ago, but he was alone on the way to the airport at that time, and he felt that his heart was leaking No matter how you fill a hole, it can’t be filled, this time.
Out of the airport, he put away his phone and smiled at the blue sky.
For the first time, he felt that the future path was so clear. After playing the professional game, he went to Guan He and spent the rest of his life with him.
His road of life, which is gray, always shrouded in mist, and cannot be seen clearly, has now been cleared away, and it is as if he can smell the fragrance at the end when he steps on the intersection.
Everything is different.
