Chapter 615: Wen Li, holding the trophy on the podium, publicly settles the score: "Keeping it
Lu Ziyin said this and looked at Yu Jin beside him.
Yu Ji met Lu Ziyin's gaze in a daze.
Lu Ziyin: "It was me who pushed him hard to get the Black Cat and STO. Back then, we were still in high school and had a tight academic schedule. He should have just been studying, but I pushed him to prepare for university and strive for a world championship at the same time. Now, I have many family and friends fighting alongside me, but in the beginning, it was just him, and he's been there all along the way. One world championship isn't enough; I want to win more world championships with my teammates and him."
Every word Lu Ziyin said hit Yu Jin's heart hard, making him dizzy. He stared at Lu Ziyin's face, which was smiling particularly brightly, and his heart was pounding.
Yu Jin knew that he had lost his composure, but he couldn't take his eyes off him and just stared at Lu Ziyin without blinking.
At this moment, his world only consists of the person in front of him.
Seeing Yu Jin's stunned look, Lu Ziyin thought that the introverted and cold Yu Jin was so moved by him that he was at a loss.
He had completely misunderstood the intense, almost uncontrollable emotion in Yu Ji's eyes. He had always been like this, and Yu Ji had been annoyed at his slowness and stupidity more than once, yet also felt relieved.
After Lu Ziyan finished speaking, he turned to face the audience and raised the big trophy in his hand to the cheering fans.
Yu Jin finally took his eyes away from Lu Ziyin's face.
Fu Qing smiled and asked, "Master, you go first or I go first?"
Wen Li motioned him to go first.
"Then here I come." Fu Qing was a little nervous. He had prepared a few sentences, but he was so excited that he forgot them all.
He cleared his throat with the microphone and improvised.
"I'm very glad to be a part of STO, very lucky to meet such a good captain and vice-captain, and very happy to be led by a great player. As long as STO still needs me, I will always be here..." Fu Qing suddenly remembered something. He just looked tentatively in the audience seats, but he really found it.
In a good viewing seat in the front row, on the right side, right in the middle of the stage, a tall and thin young man stood in the crowd. Like most of the audience, he was holding a bouquet of flowers and had an STO badge on his coat. He smiled gently and waved twice to Fu Qing who noticed him.
Fu Qing had thought the internal employee ticket he'd gotten wasted. He had classes every day and was preparing for exams, so he clearly didn't have time, but he didn't expect him to show up.
When his eyes met the person he wanted to see, the smile on Fu Qing's face suddenly deepened, and the two dimples on his lips looked a little cute.
He looked at the man in the stands and said, "Let me copy the vice-captain's acceptance speech. I also have someone I particularly want to thank. He was the only one by my side at the beginning."
He raised the trophy in his hand and said: "I want to give him my first world championship. I want to tell him that I have never regretted my original decision. No matter what happens in the future, I will never regret it in this life."
After Fu Qing finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Wen Li.
Lu Ziyin nudged Fu Qing with his arm and said in a low, somewhat dissatisfied voice, "How could you, Fatty, copy this? This is from my heart, and you copied my two favorite lines, which I prepared specially for the crucian carp."
Fu Qing: "Don't be so stingy, Deputy Captain."
Lu Ziyin snorted, then started to brag a bit: "So, was my acceptance speech excellent?"
Fu Qing nodded in satisfaction: "Deputy Captain, why don't you prepare a longer speech? I can copy a few more sentences and say a few more words."
Lu Ziyin: "Quality is more important than quantity. Do you understand?"
The two quarreled for a while.
When the microphone was handed to Wen Li, everyone in the venue's attention shifted to Wen Li.
Last year, Wen Li’s acceptance speeches at the Asian Championships were quite arrogant.
Even if it was just a short sentence.
I wonder what memorable acceptance speech she will give this year. She's the world champion this year.
The little guy is as curious and expectant as everyone else.
Will my sister thank little grandfather, him and the dog?
Hmm... they didn't do anything for my sister, so it seems that I shouldn't use the word thank you. Will that mention them?
To everyone's surprise, Wen Li did not give any acceptance speech. The hand holding the trophy hung casually at her side from beginning to end, even more casually than holding a cell phone.
During his acceptance speech, Wen Li, facing the audience and the camera, suddenly said, "Regarding the video of the brawl between STO and the Korean Echo team, I would like to respond on behalf of STO. The content of the video is true. Echo's disbandment was involuntary. I did it. Keeping such a trash team that can't afford to lose is polluting the esports world."
Wen Li's arrogant words spread to every corner of the venue, and the millions of viewers in the live broadcast room heard them clearly.
Three super large screens are hung high in a triangle around the stage, allowing spectators in every direction to see.
Wen Li was placed on the big screen. She spoke in Chinese and the subtitles were automatically translated into English, so people at home and abroad could understand her.
Wen Li's words caused an uproar.
Everyone doesn't understand why Wen Li admitted it. Even if he has a background and is not worried about being banned, he shouldn't be so arrogant, right?
Even Chinese netizens think so.
At this point, Korean audiences were furious.
So damn arrogant!
Wen Li then switched to English and continued, "The video leaked online is incomplete. Echo is not innocent."
As the words fell, the image of Wen Li on the big screen was switched, replaced by a clear surveillance video.
The person in charge, the director and some staff members were stunned.
No, who put it there?
The staff quickly checked the equipment.
The surveillance video was taken from the elevator surveillance.
In the surveillance video, STO's Lu Ziyin and Fu Qing were taking the elevator, and then the Echo team came in. Fu Qing and Lu Ziyin were playing rock-paper-scissors while whispering something. Although it was not clear, the two were obviously fighting.
Yu Jin didn't say a word the whole time.
Echo and the others kept speaking loudly and with contempt, sometimes mocking STO for relying on a woman to win the Asian Championship, and sometimes suspicious that Fu Qing and Lu Ziyan were saying bad things about them. Their loud voices were recorded by the surveillance camera, and then automatically translated into English after being put on the big screen.
The Echo team had been acting completely uncivilized from the moment they got on the elevator, their words and actions alike. Even the more civilized Koreans felt embarrassed watching them. Wen Li's phrase "a trash team that can't afford to lose" was spot on.
Echo's speech is becoming increasingly harsh and excessive.
Yu Jin, who had been silent all this time, retorted to them.
The Korean women expressed their agreement with Yu Jinchoke's statement.
Then there's the corridor surveillance.
The Echo team was furious and after getting off the elevator, one of them maliciously bumped into Lu Ziyin with great force, almost knocking him down. Without even a perfunctory apology, they walked away talking and laughing, and looked back at Lu Ziyin and the others provocatively.
Chinese netizens are already angry.
Although Yu Jin was indeed impulsive, no one could bear this. A kind man is easily bullied, and a kind horse is easily ridden.
Seeing the two sides fighting later, the Echo team was outnumbered and the STO team was outnumbered, and netizens were excited.
If Wen Li hadn't appeared in time, who knows how badly the three STOs would have been injured. Before, they thought Wen Li had hit them too hard, but now they just felt that he had hit them too lightly.
