    After returning home, Lu Miao took out her phone and dialed a number.


    The call was quickly answered, and a deepughter came through the receiver. “After all this time, you finally reached out to me.”


    Lu Miao didn’t bother with the banter and went straight to the point. “I need you to do something for me.”


    “What kind of matter?” the voice on the other end of the line asked.


    After Lu Miao exined, the person chuckled softly. “As youmand, my queen.”


    The next morning, as soon as Lu Yinan returned to the club and packed his belongings, the team leader informed him to go to the conference room.


    The conference room?


    Lu Yinan squinted his eyes and nodded. “Understood.”


    He turned and walked towards the conference room.


    Upon entering, he saw both club managers huddled together, whispering something. When they noticed him, they immediately straightened up and sat properly.


    “What’s the matter?” Lu Yinan asked as he sat down in front of them.


    “Ahem.” Manager Zhao cleared his throat and began, ‘Well, after discussing your current situation with the coach, team doctor, and sports psychologist, we feel that you may no longer be suitable to stay in the team, both physically and mentally. ”


    Before Lu Yinan could respond, Manager Zhao quickly added, “Of course, you have indeed led the team to win several championships over the years and made contributions to the club. However, several doctors have confirmed that your hand can no longer continue professional esports.”


    “After all, the club is not a charity, and there are so many people to support. Your loss to HMst week has already had a negative impact on the club, resulting in the withdrawal of a sponsor. If we continue to lose like this, the remaining sponsors might withdraw as well.”


    “For the sake of the club and everyone in it, we are already discussing bringing in new yers as there is no suitable position for you in the team.”


    Manager Zhou chimed in, “We have worked together for so long, and we have no personal issues with you. We understand that your situation may be difficult after leaving the club. If you cannot find a job, you cane back, and the club is willing to provide you with a logistical role to ensure your livelihood. ”


    The two managers took turns speaking, one ying the good cop and the other the bad cop, disying impable coordination.


    Clearly, they had rehearsed this speech for a long time, waiting for him to hear it in person.


    Lu Yinan had already guessed what they wanted to do since he heard about the meeting from the assistant.


    He leaned back in his chair, resting against the backrest. “If I’m not mistaken, I hold a 20% stake in the club.”


    When he first gained fame in the rookiepetition, many clubs offered high sries to sign him. BS, at that time, was the most ordinary club in terms of conditions. The owner of BS personally approached him three times, bringing along shares, and disyed 100% sincerity. Only then did he agree.


    Over the years, he led the team to win eight domestic championships and five world-ss esports tournaments, transforming the once obscure BS into a top-tier club in the country.


    And now, after injuring his hand, within a span of just two weeks, they wanted to push him out.


    They talked about providing him with a logistical role, implying that a world-ss champion should be insulted by doing such work.


    Manager Zhao said, “We have discussed the issue of your shares with the owner. We can convert it into cash. But, as you know, the esports industry hasn’t been profitable in recent years. Moreover, due to your lossst week, the club suffered losses of tens of millions of dors as the sponsor withdrew their investment. So, you’ll have to bear this loss yourself, and it will be directly deducted from the money converted from your shares. After the finance department’s calction, after deducting it, you still owe thepany 112,000 yuan. But the boss said that due to our many years of working together, he will waive the 112,000 yuan for you.”


    Lu Yinan chuckled. “Then, do I need to thank you?”


    Now he understood that people could be shameless to such an extent.


    Most of the club’s sponsors were his endorsements, bringing in billions of dors in revenue to the club each year.


    This didn’t even include the hefty bonuses distributed after winning those championships, his endorsement deals, the dividends from appearing on variety shows, and the revenue generated by representing thepany at offline events.


    To think that they only valued his 20% stake at 10 million yuan, and they even attributed the loss of the sponsor they withdrewst week to him, as it was a normal expiration of the endorsement.


    He treated the club as his home, but the club treated him like a burden.


    “No need to be so polite. After all, we have been colleagues for so many years.


    As long as you understand the club’s helplessness, don’t me us,” Manager Zhao said with an apparent pretense of not understanding, disying a thick-skinned demeanor.


    Lu Yinan nodded. “Alright, since you’ve calcted everything so clearly, let’s do some calctions together.”


    “The prize money for the 2018 World Championship was a total of $2.48 million, and in 2019, it was $2.62 million…


    ording to the division, I should receive $2.6 million. Adding in the personal share of approximately 5 million from the championship skins each year and the share from domestic tournament victories, thepany should owe me an additional $51.2 million.


    Considering our many years as colleagues, I won’t bother with the remaining


    200,000. Just give me $51 million.”


    Because he heldpany shares, every time he received prize money from championships over the years, the boss had promised to convert it into shares, so he had never asked for it.


    Since they were unscrupulous, he saw no reason to be a good person.


    Manager Zhao clearly didn’t expect to be turned around by him. The fake smile on his face finally faded, no longer concealing his true intentions. “Lu Yinan, people should know how to repay kindness. Thepany has been generous to you over the years, and you’ve earned more personally than the club. The boss hasn’t questioned you about it. Don’t fail to appreciate what you have. If you insist on legal proceedings, the one who will suffer a damaged reputation will be you.”


    There was already a hint of threat in his words.


    Lu Yinan looked at that ugly face and couldn’t help but smile. He truly never expected that one day he would reach this point of tearing apart his rtionship with BS.


    However, if they thought they could easily manipte and bully him, they werepletely mistaken.


    He reached out and took out his phone, unlocking the screen and tapping on it a few times, about to push it directly in front of Manager Zhao.


    But suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open from outside.


    The assistant rushed in anxiously. “Manager Zhao, Manager Zhou, you need to go outside and see something. It’s a big issue.”


    “Don’t you see that we’re in the middle of something? There’s nothing that can’t be resolved. Why are you panicking?” Manager Zhao reprimanded with a


    stern face..
