Chapter 54: A New Beginning(1/2)

Chen Xiao and the lawyer he had made an appointment came downstairs of the Sanctuary Club.

At the beginning, the Sanctuary was not so proud that he could buy a building, training room, and office by himself. There were only about ten people in the entire club. Apart from agents, publicity, and guild management, there was only one player Chen Qianlin.

In the first season, Chen Qianlin lost to Nie Yuandao by a very small gap in the individual competition and won the runner-up. Because Chen Qianlin has a good image and special temperament, and the decks are all wood-type trees, flowers, beautiful flower cards and elegant fighting style are very popular among netizens. Since then, advertising and endorsements have been continuous, the club's revenue has increased by leaps and bounds, and the scale has continued to expand. He bought a whole building within three years.

Although the contract was written at that time, it was a bonus, competition tickets and other income. The advertising endorsements that Shao Bo took the initiative to contact were signed with another 55 cents; the peripheral products sold to fans were also a 55 cents.

In fact, Chen Qianlin should have seen how much Shao Bo likes money, but he only played games and didn't want to care about this amount of money with his friends, so that Shao Bo gained more and more and more. At the beginning of the fourth season, he even auctioned cards privately without telling Chen Qianlin to make huge profits.

When Chen Qianlin knew about it, things could no longer end, and the negotiations eventually failed and he had to take legal means.

Chen Xiao was still young at that time and had just taken the full national unified examination. His brother was afraid of affecting his review, so he didn't tell him about the lawsuit. He also wanted to give his brother a surprise and signed a contract with Shao Bo in private... It can be said that Shao Bo grasped the weaknesses of both of their brothers quite accurately.

Now standing downstairs again, Chen Xiao felt mixed feelings. He took off his sunglasses, looked at the familiar building, took a deep breath, walked into the hall with Lawyer Zhang, and took the elevator to the general manager's office on the top floor.

Shao Bozheng called in the office and said polite words like "Mr. Zhang, when will you come here? I'll treat you to dinner."

At the same age as in his 30s, Chen Qianlin is thin, has outstanding temperament, and is still very young. He can't see any trace of time on his face. However, the man in front of him has a greasy face, his hairline on his head is terrifyingly high, revealing half of his bare head, and his figure is fat. At first glance, he is the result of eating big fish and meat every day. His belly is even more exaggerated than that of pregnant women.

A typical middle-aged nouveau riche looks like a big brother next door who played basketball with his brother in his childhood memory.

Chen Xiao was originally angry, but when he saw Shao Bo's appearance, he wanted to laugh.

At this time, he and Chen Qianlin had already lost completely, but he felt very good about himself.

Chen Xiao walked up politely and waited for the other party to hang up the phone, then he stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Shao, long time no see. My lawyer should have said hello to you, right? I'll come over and sign the termination agreement."

Shao Bo said with a smile: "Xiao Chen! It's really a long time no see."

Chen Xiao calmly handed the termination letter written by the lawyer in advance to Shao Bo: "During the signing of the contract with the Holy Land, I was unable to achieve good results on the field because of my lack of strength, so after Mr. Shao's consent, I returned to school to study."

Shao Bo said: "Well, you are still doing well in school? I'm so busy that I don't care about you."

Chen Xiao: "My level of playing games is not as good as my brother, but I am not good at studying. I have graduated successfully and plan to find a job by myself."

Shao Bo said: "Do you want to work in our Sanctuary Club? Be a guild management or something?"

Chen Xiao smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Shao. While I was in school, I had never been exposed to the Star Card Storm game. You also gave me a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan as usual. We have not violated the contract provisions. Now that the contract has expired, I hope to terminate the contract peacefully. Please sign it."

Shao Bo frowned slightly, always feeling that Chen Xiao, who had grown up in front of him, had a calm eyes and a polite attitude, but his back stood in front of him with a strange aura, which made him feel as if he was sitting on the boss's chair shorter, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Lawyer Zhang next to him said: "Mr. Shao, we have carefully checked the terms of the contract. There is a one in it that says that if the two parties do not sign the termination agreement in writing within one month before the expiration of him, the contract will be automatically renewed for one year. Chen Xiao's contract officially expires on September 1, so we have submitted a termination request half a month in advance, and also echoed the provisions of the contract. I hope you can fulfill your promise."

Shao Bo raised his eyebrows and said with a slight smile: "Xiao Chen, you still bring the lawyer here? Are you worried about me?"

Chen Xiao smiled: "I don't understand contracts, so I'm going to take a lawyer to be more professional. I hope you don't mind."

Shao Bo is actually too lazy to stay with Chen Xiao. Chen Qianlin clearly said that his younger brother is very talented, but who knew that this guy couldn't stand the wall and would lose every time he played the game... Thinking of this, Shao Bo picked up the pen and signed it very simply.

Chen Xiao handed the contract to the lawyer, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Shao, let's get together and part with you."

Shao Bo said with a smile: "I wish you a smooth new job."

Chen Xiao turned around and left. The moment he turned around, the sharp look in the man's deep eyes was even shocked when the lawyer looked at him.

After walking out of the Judgment Club, Chen Xiao lowered his voice and asked, "Have the recordings been backed up?"

Lawyer Zhang said: "Don't worry, the written termination agreement has legal effect. I'll give you a copy of the recording. I'll also back up here. What he admits himself and the words signed by himself can't help but regret it."

Chen Xiao raised his lips: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

On the way back, Chen Xiao felt that the stone that had been pressing on his heart for many years had finally been completely moved away, and his whole body became extremely relaxed.

Shao Bo probably never dreamed that the boy who was always impulsive and reckless when he was a child would hide so deeply, and he would hide it for five years. Even more unexpectedly, for that boy, his brother was a person more important than his life.

If you just bully him young and ignorant, he may not be able to hold grudges and can only admit defeat by himself. However, he will never forget your betrayal and hurtfulness to his brother.

Wait, one day you will be given ten times.

Chen Xiao stepped on the accelerator, and the silver-white suspended sports car rushed out like a sharp sword in the air lane, and disappeared into the traffic in an instant.

***

Chen Qianlin and Xie Mingzhe have been talking about card designs, and the master and apprentice were engaged in chatting. When Chen Xiao came back, he saw this picture. He hadn't seen such a smile on his brother's face for a long time. Obviously, Xiao Xie is very good at begging his master.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, pushed the door open and washed the fruit he bought and brought it to the living room.

Chen Qianlin said with concern: "Is the matter done?"

Chen Xiao handed him the signed agreement: "Shao Bo did not make things difficult for me. He may also feel that it would be a loss to give me a salary of 1,500 yuan a month."

Xie Mingzhe breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good! Brother Chen, are you going to rebuild a small account next?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Well. Let's develop the guild first. Yingying will officially launch the guild recruitment promotion in the forum in the evening. At that time, the maximum-level cards of Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai can also be exhibited in your card store to attract popularity."

Chen Qianlin looked at the two of them excitedly and said, "It's getting late, it's time for you to go back."

Chen Xiao looked at his brother reluctantly and asked in a calm tone: "Brother, I have always kept your bedroom for you. Do you want to... move back?"

Xie Mingzhe immediately assisted: "Master, you live here too far away, why not move back, right? Brother Chen cleaned your bedroom very clean, and the succulent plants you left behind were also well raised. If I have any questions in the future, it will be convenient for me to communicate with you..."

Chen Qianlin said: "I like Qingjing. If you have any questions, you can send me a video directly."

Yes, the master gave him a tablet and could video anytime if he wanted to contact him. Xie Mingzhe's reason was not valid, so he had to look at Chen Xiao helplessly. The latter did not force him and smiled and said, "Okay, brother, you can do whatever you like. At worst, I'll come to see you every day in the future."

Chen Qianlin frowned: "You don't have to come every day."

Chen Xiao immediately changed his words: "Then I'll see you the next day."

Chen Qianlin: “…”

After a moment of silence, Chen Qianlin said: "Let's do this, I will handle some of the work I have on hand first and move here next month." Since Chen Xiao and Xie Mingzhe decided to join forces to play the game next season, it is indeed convenient to guide you if you live together.

Chen Xiao was so excited that he almost jumped up, his voice trembling slightly: "Really, really?"

"Yes." Chen Qianlin said: "I still have a few paintings that have not been completed, so I won't leave you anymore. You guys go back first."

Chen Xiao simply took Xie Mingzhe away.

On the way back, Chen Xiao was humming excitedly. He sang the originally warm songs very unpleasantly. He was not fully tuned and was seriously out of tune. Xie Mingzhe was really amused, but Chen Xiao was in such a good mood, Xie Mingzhe did not interrupt him, and let him run out of the universe galaxy.

After returning to the studio, Pang Yu came over and asked Xie Mingzhe with curiosity: "Have you really met Chen Xiao's brother?" Jin Yue also asked in a low voice: "What kind of person is his brother?" Before Xie Mingzhe could answer, Chen Xiao slapped the two of them in the back: "Don't gossip, are you very idle?"

Chi Yingying said: "Brother Chen, I have already written the publicity. Do you think it's okay?"

Chen Xiao leaned over and took a look. The promotional lyrics she wrote were concise and neat, with prominent focus. The posts in ** are also accompanied by pictures that broke the world record of the Purple Bamboo Forest, which was very attractive. Xie Mingzhe also gave a thumbs up: "It's very professional at first glance!"

Chen Xiao said: "The promotion will be officially released at noon tomorrow. Many people will definitely apply. The acceptance will be handed over to Ah Qing to check. In addition, let Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai go to the card store to display tomorrow, and help the guild do some publicity."

Xie Mingzhe nodded: "I think it's better to make a card museum on the first floor. Each card will be written in detail below. The store will be open for a long time in the future. Even if there are no new cards on the second floor, those who are interested can come to the first floor to enjoy the cards."

Character Card Museum, this is what Xie Mingzhe wants to do the most.

Make cards for exhibitions of classic characters, so that people in this world can know them and like them.

Chi Yingying also agreed very much: "This is the first time the Card Museum has appeared in the game! Xiao Xie, I am actually very curious about the stories of these characters you designed. I think there must be many people who are as curious as me!"

The fat man immediately raised his hand: "Add me one! I want to know Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai!"

Jin Yue said: "I like Wang Zhaojun and Xi Shi the most."

Even Chi Qing, who has always been the calmest, said: "I really want to know the design ideas of Cao Chong's elephant."

Xie Mingzhe smiled and said, "I will write about the stories and design ideas of these people first, and Sister Yingying will help me modify and polish them. Is it OK?"

Chi Yingying nodded immediately: "No problem!"

Xie Mingzhe opened his light brain and began to write the card encyclopedia of each character.

The way of writing Card Encyclopedia is not like writing novels. The novel uses the plot to slowly promote the development of the story, while the encyclopedia summarizes the general personality and experience of this character from the perspective of God. Xie Mingzhe cannot remember the detailed experiences of each character, but it is probably okay to say it.

That night he had been writing card encyclopedia information. After writing the introduction of the thirteen cards, his head was about to explode. He sent the introduction to Yingying and asked the other party to modify some words. After Yingying polished it, it was indeed much smoother to read.

In the game, three seven-star full-level cards were added on the first floor of the Yueban Card Store.

Moreover, the background story and design ideas of each card are clearly written below all card display cabinets, which is really a bit like a "card museum".

***

At noon the next day, the Yueqian Card Store opened on time.

The story of the fat uncle breaking the Purple Bamboo Forest record three times in a row has been circulating in the forum, so as soon as the card store opened, countless people flocked to the store to see what the deck that broke the dungeon record looked like.

As soon as everyone entered the store, they found that there were detailed "card encyclopedia" under all the cards, and they couldn't help but sigh-

"It's like entering a card museum!" "Cao Chong said that elephant was an equal replacement method, and used stones to replace elephants. This kid is so smart!" "Would Wang Zhaojun marry far away and play the pipa because he was too sad? What a pity..." "What are the Twelve Beauties of Jinling? Besides Daiyu and Baochai, there are others?" "Saying Sha Seng is the third junior brother, does he have the eldest and second senior brothers?"

Everyone was discussing the backstory of the card, and many people were excited to take screenshots.

The three newly emerged cards, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai, have also attracted widespread attention from players.

In addition to Huang Gai being an old man, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are more handsome than the other, and they also have the linkage skills of "Jiangdong Twins"!

Today's store announcement reads a line of words: "Welcome to the Yueban Card Store, I hope you can like these character cards. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Huang Gai are decks that break the record of Zizhulin dungeon. If you want to get this deck, you can join the Nirvana Guild and redeem member points. Welcome fixed teams and casual players to join our guild, which are a lot of benefits!"

Everyone: "…………”

Add to add! Isn’t it okay for us to add?

The quick-responding person immediately turned around and ran to the guild administrator to search for Nirvana Guild to apply for joining. Chi Yingying's guild promotional recruitment post posted on the forum had been turned over dozens of pages at this time. A large number of players applied to join Nirvana Guild, and almost paralyzed the guild application panel in the game!

New application lists continued to emerge in Chi Qing's backstage. She said with a headache: "More than a thousand people have applied..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his words: "Two thousand...three thousand!"
To be continued...
