Chapter 12: The New Coach


The car drove quickly to the headquarters of the E-sports League. Qi Heng pushed open the door of the room with Jiang Shaoyu and smiled. “Leaders, I’m sorry for making you wait a long time. This is Jiang Shaoyu that I’ve mentioned to you. Ah Yu, this is Chairman Li and Chairman Zhang of the E-sports League.”

Jiang Shaoyu stepped forward politely and shook hands with the leaders.

Chairman Zhang was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was all smiles and seemed to be easy to talk to. He asked Jiang Shaoyu to sit down and said enthusiastically, “ACE-Wing, right? I’ve heard Xiao Qi talk about you. It is very legendary! I am a layman and don’t know much about games. We have already decided to hire you as the Coach of Gun King’s national team so we will confidently hand over the national team to you!”

Jiang Shaoyu nodded. “Thank you for your approval, Chairman. I will do my best to lead the national team.”

Initially, the leaders felt that the legendary story Qi Heng told them was just adding details to exaggerate a story. He was just an e-sports player. Even if he led his team to win the championship, could he have the ability to control the national team?

Then after meeting the real person, everyone’s thoughts changed.

This Jiang Shaoyu was too calm. He was as calm as a walking robot. It seemed that this was a powerful person who was very stubborn!

Next to him, Chairman Li smiled. “Coach Jiang, we had a meeting and seriously discussed the conditions you mentioned. You can take full responsibility for the selection of members, the daily training and the competition arrangements. As for the salary… to be honest, the national team has limited funds. What do you think about 10 million? The budget we have allocated for the coach can only reach this amount.”

Jiang Shaoyu calmly told them, “I don’t want a salary. I just need my food, accommodation and transportation taken care of.”

The people present were stunned and thought they had heard incorrectly.

Chairman Li stared at him with disbelief. “N-No salary?”

“It is my voluntary decision to return to China to work. In addition, I have no experience with officially coaching a team. I will be too ashamed to receive that much money as a salary if I don’t get any results. I won’t receive anything as my salary as long as the national team doesn’t win a prize in the World Series.”

Jiang Shaoyu’s attitude was serious. “You can give me what I deserve as a bonus once we receive the prize. Then I will be more at ease.”

Chairman Zhang raised an eyebrow with surprise. “Get the prize? Are you so confident?”

Jiang Shaoyu nodded. “Yes. I am the one choosing and leading the team and I am confident I can achieve results. We will advance to the final round next year and get a trophy back. If I remember correctly, the national team hasn’t won a trophy at the World Series yet. We must achieve this ‘zero prizes breakthrough’ as soon as possible.”

The leaders glanced at each other and were happy.

The national team really hadn’t won a trophy at the World Series. They had been looking forward to this ‘zero prizes breakthrough’ for too many years!

This person dared to issue a letter of guarantee. It didn’t matter if he was bragging or really was capable. This courage alone was rare. The last national team didn’t even make it to the quarterfinals. It wasn’t easy for such a team to win a prize. He was so confident. They might as well let him try it to see if he could bring out another dark horse team.
