The King's Avatar: The Beginning of One Autumn Leaf!

Chapter 146 is finalized! Zhang Jiale joins! (Subscribe!)
On the other hand, the winner will be decided at this meeting.

Samsara beat Tyranny 6:4 at home, just one point difference!
If they didn't have the advantage in map selection in the team game, and if Zhou Zekai had an unexpected outburst in the team game, the result of this game might not be 6:4, but 1:9...!
So, a rather interesting scene occurred after the game.

Everyone did not have any urgent hope for Samsara, which had won one game. Instead, they believed that Tyranny, which would return to its home court in the second round, would surely win.

Of course, what happens in the second round is a matter for the future.

……

Excellent Era Club.

Doorway.

Gu Ming was wearing a dark blue suit, standing straight, and his outfit looked quite formal. This was not a whim, but because a more important "guest" was coming tonight.

Zhang Jiale.

Yes, after witnessing Excellent Era's 7:3 victory over Blue Rain at home, Zhang Jiale finally made up his mind and agreed to the olive branch thrown by Gu Ming.

In other words.

Next season, Zhang Jiale is coming!

As for why he came here tonight, it was to discuss with the Excellent Era Club some specific matters after the next season, such as salary and the like.

As the team leader, Gu Ming was naturally downstairs to greet them in person.

Gu Ming stood at the gate. After a while, another figure walked over quickly. It was Zhang Jiale.

"Captain Gu." Zhang Jiale greeted with a smile.

"You're welcome. Logically, I should call you senior." Gu Ming smiled back.

"Oh, it doesn't matter what you call me." Zhang Jiale waved his hand. He seemed quite casual about this matter of address.

There is a saying that goes, the more knowledgeable people are, the less they care about these superficial things. The less knowledgeable people are, the more they care about these superficial things.

Zhang Jiale obviously belongs to the former.

After a few polite words, Gu Ming brought Zhang Jiale to Tao Xuan's office.

"Come in, Boss Tao is waiting for you inside." Gu Ming helped him open the door, but he had no intention of going in himself.

"Thank you." Zhang Jiale smiled and walked in.

Gu Ming closed the door again.

When discussing contracts and privacy, outsiders are generally not allowed to enter. Even if Gu Ming is the captain, he cannot break this rule.

Zhang Jiale obviously knew this. After all, he had been the captain of Baihua for so many years, so he had a lot of experience in these details.

After sending Zhang Jiale to the office, Gu Ming's task for the day was successfully completed.

He shrugged and walked towards the dormitory: "Go back and rest."

...

At the same time, the talks between the two sides in the office were coming to an end.

"We will communicate with the Baihua Club tonight and try to bring him to Excellent Era. Last but not least, regarding the annual salary... 600 million, what do you think?" Tao Xuan said.

"No problem." What Tao Xuan didn't expect was that Zhang Jiale agreed very readily, almost in seconds.

But this is normal. After all, Zhang Jiale's purpose of returning this time is to win the league championship. As for the annual salary, he doesn't really care that much, as long as it is within a reasonable range.

He is not so concerned about money now, after all, he has earned enough in the past few years.

The annual salary of six million is considered to be at the upper end of the league.

Although this figure is not as high as Baihuakai's previous salary, considering that Zhang Jiale is a player who has retired for a year, which is equivalent to a newbie starting over, it is very good for Jia Shi to offer such a salary.

After confirming that Zhang Jiale was very satisfied with the annual salary, Tao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was most worried about this place before. "But... I have a question." Zhang Jiale changed the subject at this moment.

"You say." Tao Xuan's heart tightened.

"As far as I know, Gu Ming's annual salary is about 400 million. Doesn't my annual salary exceed his?" said Zhang Jiale.

Tao Xuan has been in the professional circle for so many years, so he is naturally a "shrewd person" and immediately heard the hidden meaning in his words.

If a team member's annual salary is higher than that of the captain, doesn't this seem like a slap in the captain's face and violate the team's rules?

Tao Xuan smiled easily, "Don't worry about this. After this season, Captain Gu Ming's annual salary will be increased."

"Oh, that's all right." Zhang Jiale grinned, "Happy cooperation, Boss Tao."

"It's a pleasure to work with you. It's an honor for our Excellent Era Club to have a great player like you join us."

"No, no, I just want my old bones to not be a burden to the team."

"Where is it."

The two sides exchanged a few polite words and the talks ended successfully.

After walking out of the office, Zhang Jiale carried his luggage and walked towards the contestants' dormitory.

He had just arrived in H City and had no property here before, so he could only live in the dormitory for now.

However, as I said before, Zhang Jiale now holds a Buddhist attitude towards everything else. As long as food, clothing, housing and transportation are not too bad, he can accept them.

And his overall goal is only one, that is - the championship.

Zhang Jiale's desire for the championship far exceeds any previous season.

Because he knew that his time was running out. Even when he was playing games, he could feel that his reaction and concentration had obviously declined compared to when he was young.

People can refuse to admit defeat, but they cannot refuse to admit old age!

Therefore, Zhang Jiale wanted to launch a final charge towards the championship trophy while he could still play!
For such players to join Excellent Era, it would definitely be a win-win situation for all parties.

……

Come to the dormitory building.

Zhang Jiale looked at the number on the room card - 210.

The players' dormitory of the Jia Shi Club is designed in the same way as a hotel and has room cards, which is quite good.

Zhang Jiale came to the floor marked on the room card, which was Room 210. Just as he was about to open the door, he heard the door next door suddenly open.

Then he saw a shirtless, sturdy man walking out. He wiped his wet hair with a towel and waved, saying hello:
"hello."

"It's you." Zhang Jiale smiled and looked at Gu Ming.

That’s right, the person who lives next door to him is Gu Ming.

I don't know if Excellent Era's HR department deliberately arranged this, but it doesn't matter. Gu Ming will most likely move out next season anyway...

After saying hello, Gu Ming returned to his room.

Although he was very excited about the joining of Zhang Jiale and Zhao Yang, he still had to sleep, right?

After all, the season isn’t over yet!

……

The camera turned and came to Blue Rain's home court.

"Okay, audience friends, hello everyone, this is the Glory Pro League Season 8 semi-finals, Blue Rain vs. Excellent Era! I am today's commentator, Li Yibo..."
