Those Sweet Times
Chapter 45 Part 1

After the one on one match, Xiang Nuan had obtained a small fan base.

To be exact, she had two small fan groups.

One group was mostly her schoolmates who were present while she played the match. They then went on the forums to discuss the match and describe how she had won the match. Some who had followed the forum also became her fan.

The other group was those who had watched the match on Hu Ge’s stream. Some felt it was just a publicity stunt to promote the stream, others however believed what they had seen and considered Xiang Nuan their goddess.

Among those who believed what they saw, the coach of the Unbeatable team, Chang Sansi, was one of them.

Chang Sansi didn’t go look for Xiang Nuan directly, he contacted Chen Yinghu first. Though Chen Yinghu only played professionally for a few days, many professional players knew about him and had his contact information.

Chang Sansi called Chen Yinghu. They first had some small talk before Chang Sansi began to ask about the girl with Chen Yinghu in stream.

Chen Yinghu laughed: “Chang Ge, what do you mean? Your team’s looking for new player?”

Chang Sansi was straightforward: “I feel that she’s quite talented. Though we don’t have an opening for the main positions, she can come to be our trainee first to try it out. Can you ask her for me? Or can you give me her contact information and I’ll go ask her directly.”

Chang Sansi felt that he had showed his utmost sincerity in inviting Xiang Nuan. Normally, the basic requirements for a trainee was being skilled at playing at least 3 champions, be competent in at least two positions, and have at least 40 stars at the Master level.

Those were the minimum requirements. But ‘It’s Nuannuan’ hadn’t reached that level yet.

Chen Yinghu didn’t reply directly but asked a question: “Chang Ge, let me just ask you one thing, do you know which college she is at?”

“Which one?”

“Nanshan University.”

Chang Sansi had thought about all the possibilities. Maybe It’s Nuannuan didn’t want to go to his team or she wasn’t interested in playing professionally. Or how much growth could she have after training, or whether both sides could reach an agreement on the salary…...He even thought about if the girl believed it was just a scam what would he do to convince her……

What he had never expected that the major obstacle would be that she was studying in a renowned university.

Though there were more and more college students nowadays, Nanshan University was quite a reputable one and its graduates usually had a bright future.

They were the elite of the society with a promised future waiting for them. Who would come to play esports with him, especially with an uncertain future.

Many people considered esports as their dream. But fundamentally, it was just a profession to make a living. In addition, it was a profession filled with cruel competitions, survival of the fittest. It was also a profession for young people. The career of a professional player was very short; the investment and its return was disproportionate. In this profession, working hard didn’t amount to much since every single one of them worked very hard.

……

Once Chang Sansi realized Xiang Nuan was in Nanshan University, he had given up any thought of recruiting her. Even if he could tempt her to come play professionally to fulfill her dream, her parents would probably burn him alive.
