Chapter 192 The Wolves Enter the Game!
Seeing the irrefutable aura in Ye Lan's eyes, Xu Zhiqiang gladly accepted Wang Wenjie's flattery.
But feeling uneasy, he leaned close to Ye Lan's ear and whispered, "Godfather, is it okay for us to bully people like this?"
Ye Lan glared at him, "What do you mean by bullying him? He needed our help, so he lowered himself and was willing to be humble. It wasn't us who made him do that."
"But we can stop him from doing that. Why can't we all treat each other as equals?"
Ye Lan looked at Xu Zhiqiang's clear and innocent face, her brows furrowing into a twisted shape.
It is often said that children from poor families mature early, but this is not actually true.
Take Xu Zhiqiang as an example; he is a typical child from a poor family.
But apart from having good grades and being considerate of his parents at home, and proactively helping with housework, he has absolutely no social experience.
In other words, they haven't experienced the harsh realities of society.
He has excellent family life skills, but zero social life skills.
She appears to have been independent since childhood, but in reality, she has always been protected by her family.
"Our family is poor, so don't cause trouble outside. Just bear with it, and it will pass." "When you're working outside, you must be diligent; only then will you gain the boss's favor."...
These seemingly well-intentioned reminders are in fact stifling children's natural instincts.
In the end, Xu Zhiqiang became a timid and submissive person who, despite being very talented, lacked self-confidence.
Ye Lan sighed, placed her hand on the other person's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Zhiqiang, you need to know one thing: a kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is always a liability."
"At this time, let's not play with old internet memes. It's clearly a case of 'the kind are bullied, and the good are ridden.'"
"Okay, okay, you're educated now, I just want you to know that equal communication doesn't make people grateful. On the contrary, it makes the other person think you're easy to bully and will take advantage of you."
Compared to Xu Zhiqiang, who only knew how to study, Ye Lan's parents started cultivating his social survival skills from a young age.
These are all lessons learned from Ye Lan's experience.
Xu Zhiqiang stood there dumbfounded, his blank, lifeless eyes filled with doubt.
What Ye Lan said was not exactly the same as the knowledge he gained from books; in fact, it was quite different.
"Zhiqiang, you're just too nice. People are polite to you, so you're polite to them too. Try to understand what I'm saying."
The principles in books have long been deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Ye Lan did not expect Xu Zhiqiang to understand them immediately.
My gaze fell on the center of the stage at the very front.
As the canopy was covered with a black cloth, the colorful neon lights lit up, and puffs of smoke billowed from the huge stage—not from a fire, but from water vapor produced by a smoke machine.
The Chongqing Wolves players walked out one by one, led by coach Li Luo.
Each person's handsome promotional photo also appeared on the large screen overhead.
The appearance of these handsome photos instantly ignited the enthusiasm inside the venue.
The cheers swept in like a tidal wave, and could be heard from every corner of the stadium.
The audience members who came to watch the game were all e-sports enthusiasts.
The Wolves players were taken aback by the students' enthusiasm and were somewhat flattered, waving and greeting them with embarrassed expressions.
Clearly, even celebrities have some degree of social anxiety.
Seeing this, the student in charge of hosting picked up the microphone and said jokingly, "It seems the atmosphere isn't hot enough; the Wolves members are shivering from the cold."
The audience was outraged and immediately launched into a louder response, even more so than before.
Ye Lan frowned and covered her ears; the bustling crowd was probably what she was seeing right now.
Li Luo took the microphone from the host, her emotions running high.
"We really didn't expect that your school would have so many fans. We are truly flattered."
The host was also very adept at handling the situation, saying, "That's not true. The arrival of Wolves means that we..."
At this point, the host drew out his words and pointed the microphone at the audience.
The audience immediately understood, and thousands of people shouted in unison.
The four characters “蓬荜生辉” (meaning “my humble abode is radiant”) were so loud that it seemed the ground itself trembled.
Ye Lan, on the other hand, was disdainful of Li Luo's commercial rhetoric.
Saying you didn't expect your school to have so many fans? That would be a lie.
The Chongqing Wolves are a local team from Chongqing, giving them home advantage, and most Chongqing residents are naturally fans of the Wolves.
This is similar to how most people in Wuhan would support the Wuhan eStar team, and people in Beijing would support the Beijing WB team.
"Today is a friendly match between the Wolves and your esteemed school. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to it. So let's get straight to the game!"
"it is good!"
As the host finished speaking, the audience's emotions were stirred up once again.
But then a bucket of cold water was poured on it.
"Before the competition officially begins, we would like to thank 'Jian Duo Bao Herbal Tea' and 'He Li Lao Hot Pot' for their special sponsorship."
The audience immediately started cursing.
"Why are you inserting commercials now? Let's get started!"
"Exactly! It's a rare opportunity to watch a game live without paying, so let's enjoy it to the fullest!"
"Shancheng Vocational and Technical College is awesome. I am the school's dog, and I will always be loyal to the school."
“You didn’t say that when we had classes during the weekend.”
"One yard owned by a yard."
.......
After the host finished reading the advertisement, he left and handed the stage over to the Wolves.
Knowing that continuing would only dampen the fans' enthusiasm, Li Luo stopped talking and got straight to the point.
Li Luo took the microphone, cleared her throat with two light coughs, and her familiar voice rang out in the gymnasium.
"I'm sure everyone is familiar with the rules of the event, so I won't go into detail. Now, let's welcome the first team of challengers."
For this challenge, Shancheng Vocational and Technical College formed a total of ten teams to participate.
Ye Lan and her group were the last one.
As Li Luo finished speaking, five people stood up in the middle of the audience seats, which is the first few rows of Section A, and walked towards the center of the stage amidst cheers and applause.
The five Wolves players stood in the center of the stage, like five supreme gods, waiting for those below them to come up and challenge them.
However, these five people clearly participated in the competition with a mindset of entertainment or idol worship, as their expressions showed no seriousness whatsoever; on the contrary, they were all very happy.
They walked onto the stage with cheerful expressions and shook hands with the five Wolves players.
"Fly, I'm your fan. I watch every single one of your games."
"Fatty, you really need to lose weight. You don't look this fat on TV."
.........
One person made a fan-favorite confession, and after both teams bowed in respect, they sat down at the designated location, picked up the phones provided by the investors, and logged into their respective game accounts.
The game officially begins!
