Chapter 162 Resolution

In the past, seeing reporters being tossed around like that, Chen Guo would have probably laughed like a fool. But at this moment, Chen Guo didn't want to laugh at all. She just wanted to cry. From the first second she sat in this seat, she had been trying hard to control herself and not let her tears fall.

The league's regulations didn't extend to the team owner. Chen Guo could skip any pre-match or post-match press conference. But now, she was sitting here, next to Tang Rou, because she wanted to be with Tang Rou, because she knew Tang Rou was about to make a difficult decision.

Chen Guo felt she was so pathetic, clearly wanting to sit there to support Tang Rou, but discovering she was the most vulnerable one. She couldn't be as calm as Ye Xiu or Fang Rui, nor as strong as Tang Rou. Holding back her tears... that was all she could barely manage.

One versus three had become a hot topic outside, and within Team Happy, it was also a topic that everyone treated very seriously.

The absolutely rational An Wenyi, after the press conference that day, bluntly stated that Tang Rou's actions were extremely irresponsible.

Tang Rou did not refute it. Afterward, she just practiced hard day and night. Everyone saw this, and An Wenyi temporarily stopped expressing his opinion. After all, there were still five rounds of matches to be played. Perhaps Tang Rou could really do it. As a teammate, at this time, An Wenyi, like everyone else, chose to cheer Tang Rou on.

Thirty-five days, five rounds of matches. Tang Rou ultimately failed to achieve it. After the match, in the preparation room, An Wenyi didn't immediately yell or say anything, but his eyes were enough to let people know how dissatisfied he was.

Then, Tang Rou apologized, apologizing for her previous irresponsibility. And then, she said her decision: to go back on her word and continue.

Everyone was stunned, especially the most dissatisfied An Wenyi. Rational as he was, at this moment he found Tang Rou's decision even more incredible.

Such a decision would bear what kind of pressure? No one was unaware.

The irresponsible Tang Rou, at this moment, in order to shoulder the responsibility to the team, was actually preparing to use this method.

Soften a bit, admit defeat, would that not work?

An Wenyi couldn't understand it. He only knew that if it were him, he would never have thought of such a self-destructive and tough approach.

The preparation room was silent.

Why wasn't anyone trying to dissuade her? An Wenyi looked at the captain, Ye Xiu, at the owner, Chen Guo, at the other teammates. Everyone was silent. Was it because no one realized the seriousness of this issue? Of course not. The silence of the crowd at this time precisely illustrated how shocking Tang Rou's decision was.

But no one stood up to speak. Had everyone lost their minds? An Wenyi wanted to stand up, wanting to rationally analyze how to handle this matter properly. But he couldn't open his mouth. How to handle it? What An Wenyi thought of was to bow to those reporters at the press conference, admit that his previous words and actions were inappropriate, and beg everyone to allow her to withdraw her previous inappropriate vow.

An Wenyi could completely see that those reporters weren't very interested in actually forcing a player to retire. That would only highlight their malice. What they expected should be this scene. In this way, they could play the role of saviors, leading an immature player onto the right path.

Was this the way to go?

In An Wenyi's mind, the faces of those guys appeared, arrogant and complacent, as Tang Rou humbly begged for forgiveness. Of course, they would generously accept Tang Rou afterward.

"Damn it!" The rational An Wenyi actually cursed and kicked the locker hard. It was so damn disgusting! An Wenyi found he couldn't bring himself to persuade her.

"Well... let's leave it at that then!" Ye Xiu said.

"Ye Xiu, come out for a moment." The owner, Chen Guo, suddenly walked toward the outside of the preparation room and called to Ye Xiu.

"Hmm?" Ye Xiu followed her out.

Just as Tang Rou made this decision, Chen Guo suddenly had a terrible thought.

Making such a tough response that bore even greater pressure, seemed like something that wasn't too difficult to understand for Tang Rou's personality. So Chen Guo suddenly thought of Ye Xiu. That guy probably already judged that Tang Rou couldn't achieve one versus three within five rounds. One versus three in five rounds was a trap he set for Tang Rou.

Because he had once very frankly stated that Tang Rou's dedication to Glory wasn't very stable. Her interest came from challenges. Perhaps one day, when she reached a certain height and there were no more challenges she was interested in, she would lose interest in Glory. At that time, what would be the attitude of this rich girl whose attitude toward life was casual? Would she give up on Glory as directly as she had given up on music, or would she continue to force herself because she was a member of the team? Either way, of course, was not what Happy wanted to see. So this time, he took the opportunity to put a trap on Tang Rou, give her shackles, and let her fight endlessly?

"You woman, you're really terrifying!" Hearing Chen Guo's direct questioning, Ye Xiu was surprised.

"Don't you think so?" Chen Guo said.

"Of course not," Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know why she had such thoughts. It was probably because she usually saw too much of Ye Xiu's actions. This guy was quite indifferent and ruthless most of the time. But Chen Guo absolutely couldn't tolerate him making such designs on his teammates. Hearing Ye Xiu's denial, Chen Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

"But she's now..."

"She will endure tremendous pressure. This is really her personality. She always chooses the most difficult and challenging," Ye Xiu said.

Tang Rou chose the most difficult response, so what about himself? He couldn't retreat, could he? As a team, for every player in the team, no matter what, they should give as much support and tolerance as possible. Today, the one standing here was Tang Rou, with whom he had the deepest feelings, but if it were any member of Team Happy, he should do the same.

Thinking this way, Chen Guo faced the reporters who were swarming toward her calmly. Even if she couldn't control her tears, she would be Tang Rou's most solid backing, the solid backing of every player in Happy. That was it.

Crazy! The people of Happy were crazy.

This Tang Rou didn't consider her image at all. The owner of Team Happy, didn't she consider the impact of such a player on the team's image? There were fundamental problems with this team's management philosophy. Big problems.

Didn't they understand these principles? It seemed like they did. They understood, but they insisted on doing so. Tang Rou was willing to bear any public opinion pressure, and what about the Happy owner? In this situation, what she emphasized was her gratitude to Tang Rou for making such a difficult choice for the team.

How could there be such a team? How could there be such a player!

The reporters felt very resentful toward Happy and Tang Rou, who were completely inconsistent with their ideas. Even when the winning side, Team Tiny Herb's players, came out to accept interviews today, they still couldn't completely shake off some of their anger.

They hastily ended their congratulations to the winning side and immediately interviewed the Tiny Herb players about their views on Happy's performance today.

"Oh?" Hearing that Tang Rou had ultimately made such a statement, Tiny Herb's Wang Jiexi, Gao Yingjie, and Liu Xiaobie, who attended the press conference, were also very surprised.

But soon, Wang Jiexi nodded, "It really sounds like something she would do!" Wang Jiexi couldn't help but think that back in the tenth server, he could defeat Tang Rou in a matter of seconds. Even a beginner could realize how big the gap was between the two sides. But, despite such a terrible gap, Wang Jiexi could only knock down Tang Rou's character and couldn't extinguish her fighting spirit. Even because Tang Rou felt this huge gap more and more clearly, Wang Jiexi felt excitement from her.

From that time on, Wang Jiexi knew what kind of person she was, and from then until the Challenger League, Tang Rou repeatedly rejected Tiny Herb's invitation. Wang Jiexi further understood Tang Rou's uniqueness.

Understanding her uniqueness, and looking at these reporters chattering, even Wang Jiexi found them a bit ridiculous.

The reporters obviously believed that Tang Rou, by making such a betrayal of her oath, would not be able to survive in the league and would have no future.

"No wealthy team would want such a player with a bad reputation to ruin their image."

Wang Jiexi even heard such a voice, said with such confidence.

Yes, this was a reasonable statement, but the problem was that the future you were talking about was probably not the future that Tang Rou envisioned at all. This unique player would never walk the path that ordinary players walked in your consciousness.

A wealthy team?

Tiny Herb alone had been rejected twice, and she had rejected them without hesitation, leaving no room for discussion. Obviously, Tiny Herb didn't have anything that attracted her. The so-called wealthy team was nothing more than that in her eyes.

Although the players Ye Xiu found had various problems, they were all very reliable people! Thinking of this, Wang Jiexi found that he seemed to be a little envious subconsciously. But when facing the reporters' questions, he just very rationally deflected them.

"Well, there might be some reason why she insists on not fulfilling her promise! I'm not very clear about it, so I'm not in a position to express any opinions," Wang Jiexi said.

"Then what do you think about Fang Rui claiming that he can beat eight of you?" Some reporters also brought up this statement.

As a result, Wang Jiexi just smiled, "Looking forward to the next match against him."

They thought this level of trash talk would affect Wang Jiexi in any way. The reporters realized that they were really too naive. And from Wang Jiexi, they couldn't get anything too newsworthy, so they turned to Tiny Herb's other two. Tang Rou's actions, of course, became the focus of attention again.

"I'm very happy she didn't withdraw. I'm looking forward to facing her again," Liu Xiaobie purely looked at the result, not the process.

"No matter what, her courage and determination are worth learning from," Gao Yingjie said.

Morality is declining!

The reporters lamented that they couldn't hear any strong condemnation of Tang Rou from Tiny Herb?
