Chapter 126

After Zhou Huo expressed his thoughts as manager, he said to the videographer Xiao Ge, “Come here and shoot my phone.”

The videographer was at a loss but he still approached.

Zhou Huo opened Twitter and let the camera show a close-up. He refreshed it and asked the videographer, “Is the time on my Twitter also captured clearly?”

The videographer was confused. He honestly said, “I got it.”

“You can’t fake the time settings on social apps.” Once Zhou Huo does these things he can never talk to Shi Luo about being slugging during discussions of competition systems. He dropped his mobile phone on the table. In a clear, methodical and logical manner, “It’s been less than two hours since our quarterfinal draw, right?”

The videographer nodded again.

Zhou Huo said again, “Get a shot of everyone in this room. Give everyone a close-ups.”

The videographer was completely muddled. He reminded him in a low voice, “Zhou Ge, the players don’t have any makeup on. They haven’t washed their hair...”

Zhou Huo has always paid particular importance on the players’ image when managing the affairs of the team. He usually didn’t allow any of the staff to take pictures of them when they were at the base. When the player’s image was not good, Zhou Huo never allowed any of the staff to take pictures of them.

The cameraman adjusted the lens and took shots of Yu Sui, Shi Luo, Chen Huo, Puppy, Old Qiao... He then turned the camera to Zhou Huo.

“The time and place serve as proof. This is the state of our club just after the draw.” Zhou Huo said calmly, “I don’t know when everyone will see this video and I don’t know if by the time you see this video, whether we have won or lost, whether we would have gotten past the quarterfinals. But I just want to keep a record and leave evidence to let everyone know that before the quarterfinals, no one in my club was afraid to fight.”

“Regarding our opponents in the quarterfinals, it did come as a bit of a surprise but our team was not scared. There was no worry about it, nor were we placed in dire straits because of it. Several of our players were even very excited and very satisfied with the result of the draw.”

“If we win in the quarterfinals, it’s because our players are amazing.”

“If we lose in the quarterfinals... then, to a certain team, know that your fancy tricks before the match did not scare us. We are also happy to have this match. To the sprayers, know that none of our players have ever been frightened. Despite the malicious controlling of points done by a certain team, our team has maintained grace and decentness, preserving the dignity of our region in a foreign country. The players have already done all they could.”

“Cut.” Zhou Huo signaled that the videographer to stop, “Keep this material for me. Make a backup. I can use it for PR after the game.”

The videographer turned off the camera. Only then did Zhou Huo take a deep breath and wipe the hard-to-detect fine sweat on the corner of his forehead.

Old Qiao looked at Zhou Huo’s professional handling of obtaining PR materials to pacifying the players. He was stunned and couldn’t help looking at Yu Sui, “You spent so much money to get Zhou Huo to be our manager. Looks like it was money well-spent... He paved both the front and back roads for you.”

“It’s not really for PR though.” Zhou Huo wiped his sweat, shook his head and couldn’t help laughing, “I’ll tell you even if you make fun of me. You guys have messed with my head so much that now I think I’ve regressed back into a teenager. No, even when I was a teenager, I wasn’t this chuuni. You guys have messed up my head and now it’s no longer just business...Alright, my work is done and the actual sword-swinging and gun-slinging, I’ll leave up to you all.”
