Full-time master: I, Liu Hao, have changed my mind

Chapter 18 Tao Xuan’s win over.

In the boss's office, Tao Xuan, who was sitting on the boss's chair, looked at Liu Hao with a playful expression on his face, as if he were watching a little hamster in a cage.

Liu Hao suddenly felt a little scary. Is there a trap hidden in this?
"Don't be nervous. I asked you here just to have a casual chat with you." Tao Xuan smiled and pointed to the leather sofa beside him.

Liu Hao sat on it. There was still warmth on the sofa. Apparently someone had sat on it just now, either Ye Qiu or Su Mucheng.

"Liu Hao, how old are you this year?" Tao Xuan really seemed to be chatting.

"21." Liu Hao told the truth. He was still 21 years old no matter before or after time travel.

"Oh, you are 21, one year younger than Mucheng, but you are not too young at your age. You have been playing professionally for three years, so you can be considered a veteran." Tao Xuan said meaningfully.

Liu Hao was stunned, what do you mean? This tone sounded so strange, like a solicitation and a threat.

He knew that Tao Xuan was a thoughtful businessman, but he couldn't guess Tao Xuan's purpose in this situation. Just now Tao Xuan asked him how Ye Qiu was doing? He was still pondering the implications.

The two fell into silence for a while.

Tao Xuan was observing Liu Hao's expression, and Liu Hao was also looking at Tao Xuan.

After a long time, Tao Xuan asked again: "Liu Hao, it's the same question as before. What do you think of Ye Qiu? Is he a qualified professional player? Is he a qualified... Captain, please answer carefully."

"Does the boss have a problem with Captain Ye Qiu?" Liu Hao asked tentatively.

"I'm asking you now!" Tao Xuan suddenly became stern, his eyes flashing.

It must be said that Tao Xuan felt very oppressive, and Liu Hao was frightened, but he did not show any emotion.

"Okay, let me tell the truth. Ye Qiu is the best professional player I have ever seen. He is an outstanding captain. I admire him very much. He is gentle, calm, wise and helpful... During training, Ye Qiu The captain always points out my mistakes and helps me correct them, and sometimes teaches me some brilliant professional skills... In life, Ye Qiu is also very kind. Help the old lady cross the road enthusiastically..."

"Liu Hao!" Tao Xuan interrupted unbearably. He wanted Liu Hao to slander Ye Qiu, but he didn't want Liu Hao to praise Ye Qiu as a perfect person.

Tao Xuan knew that Liu Hao was an ambitious man and had never dealt with Ye Qiu. He had hinted like this. How could Liu Hao not understand? Liu Hao did it on purpose, pretending to be stupid on purpose!
"Liu Hao! Do you know what Ye Qiu came to say to me just now?"

Liu Hao shook his head and pretended to know nothing.

"Ye Qiu told me that he wants Qiu Fei from the youth training camp to join Team Excellent Era and take your place as the starter..." Tao Xuan paused, observing Liu Hao's expression.

Ye Qiu is cutting off your future, it's time for you to reveal your true colors, right? Give me a good scolding of Ye Qiu!
But Liu Hao still looked calm, and even reacted a little slowly, feeling that he should not be so calm after hearing the news, so he deliberately opened his mouth wide, making a surprised and angry expression, which was extremely clumsy acting.

"Liu Hao, you have known this for a long time, right?" How could Tao Xuan not see it?

"Well, I just bumped into Ye Qiu outside. Ye Qiu told me." Liu Hao explained.

"Since you know Ye Qiu is targeting you, why do you still say good things for him?" Tao Xuan said angrily.

"What can I do? He is my captain. I can't scold him behind his back, right? I am a gentleman after all." Liu Hao pretended to look pitiful.

"A gentleman? Damn you!" Tao Xuan looked at the pretentious Liu Hao in front of him and was extremely angry. You Liu Hao just pretended to be in front of Ye Qiu, but you still pretend to be in front of me. Do you really think that I know nothing?

"Liu Hao, do you really think I don't know about your bad things?" Tao Xuan said angrily. "You teamed up with other team members to isolate Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng. Do you think I, the boss, can't find out?" Liu Hao's face suddenly became solemn. Tao Xuan actually knew about the bad things the original owner had done before? It's miserable, I'm going to be picked on.

"The reason why I don't punish you is because I'm optimistic about you and want to give you a chance." Tao Xuan tapped the table a few times with his fingers, "I originally thought that you and Ye Qiu wouldn't deal with each other, but I didn't expect that you would still Will you praise Ye Qiu in front of me?"

"Boss, Ye Qiu is a bastard!" Liu Hao immediately expressed his attitude.

Tao Xuan looked stunned. He obviously didn't expect Liu Hao to change his attitude so quickly, but he soon showed a teachable expression, thinking he had Liu Hao's lifeline in his hands, and said seductively: "Liu Hao, I I did not agree to Ye Qiu's request. I agreed to Qiu Fei joining the Excellent Era team, but Qiu Fei took Shen Jian's starting position, and you are still the starting point for Excellent Era."

"Thank you, boss." Liu Hao pretended to be "obedient". Now he finally understood why the original person dared to violate Ye Qiuyang so brazenly. It turned out that the original person's backstage was Tao Xuan.

Tao Xuan has been acquiescing to his original behavior all this time.

"I intend to let Ye Qiu retire. The reason is that Ye Qiu is old and his condition has declined." Tao Xuan said slowly.

"This is an excuse." Liu Hao said bluntly.

Tao Xuan was dissatisfied with Liu Hao's interruption. As long as the two of them knew each other well, why should they say it directly?
"The boss wants Captain Ye Qiu to retire because Ye Qiu has no commercial value. Boss, you want to find a player with commercial value to be the captain of Excellent Era, right?" Liu Hao said.

Tao Xuan's expression changed, and his tone was cold: "How do you know?"

How can I know? I can only tell by reading novels... Liu Hao said "innocently": "It's just a guess."

Tao Xuan smiled, looked at Liu Hao from top to bottom, and praised: "You are quite smart, so can you guess who I want to be the captain of Excellent Era?"

"Sun Xiang." Liu Hao blurted out.

Tao Xuan was stunned again, "How did you guess it this time?"

"Based on the field data and fan support, there is a high probability that Sun Xiang will be the best rookie this year, and Sun Xiang has even directly broken the rookie wall. His strength is far superior to that of a lot of professional players. He is 19 this year and has great potential. "Liu Hao explained.

Tao Xuan couldn't help but applaud.

"The current alliance is a business alliance. Ye Qiu has no commercial value. Excellent Era needs to cultivate players with huge commercial value like Zhou Zekai."

"But doesn't Excellent Era already have Su Mucheng?" Liu Hao asked.

"Su Mucheng alone is simply not enough." Tao Xuan shook his head, "I want to train Sun Xiang to become a player like Zhou Zekai, and I want Ye Qiu to make way for Sun Xiang. This requires Ye Qiu'an to retire safely and legitimately. By then, you will be the vice-captain of Excellent Era."

Liu Hao remained silent. If the original owner had hated Ye Qiu, he would have agreed with Tao Xuan's idea without hesitation, but now he would not accept such an arrangement at all.

Although he and Ye Qiu have different philosophies, they are both professional players, and the ultimate goal of a professional player is to win the game. Tao Xuan's intention is already obvious. Although he did not explicitly tell him to fake the match, he encouraged himself in his words. If he continues to confront Ye Qiu, he is the weapon in Tao Xuan's hand to balance Ye Qiu.

"I'm sorry, boss, please forgive me for rejecting this proposal!" Liu Hao rejected it immediately. "Compared to Ye Qiu, Sun Xiang is still too young. If I were asked to choose one of the two to become the captain of Excellent Era, I would choose Ye Qiu without hesitation."

Tao Xuan was stunned. When did you, Liu Hao, become so righteous? Don’t you have a grudge against Ye Qiu? I have already promised you the position of deputy captain, but you still refuse to agree? Is it possible that you really want to be the captain of Excellent Era?
