The King's Avatar: Reborn Sun Xiang, Girlfriend Su Mucheng

Chapter 141 Tao Xuan reveals his true feelings: driving away Ye Xiu was actually for Ye Xiu's own good.
However, on the day of the All-Star main event, Team Tiny Herb didn't come up with any new tricks.

The grouping of the 24 All-Stars is nothing special.

Therefore, this year's All-Star Weekend was, in general, an unremarkable All-Star Weekend.

The viewership ratings have naturally declined significantly compared to last year.

Looking at the data report handed to him by his secretary, Feng Xianjun sighed slightly.

Seeing this, the secretary couldn't help but ask, "Chairman, weren't we planning to introduce a Hall of Fame? Why was that segment canceled at the end? If we had a Hall of Fame, the All-Star ratings this year would definitely have been high."

Feng Xianjun glanced at his secretary and smiled helplessly: "Next year will be the tenth anniversary of the establishment of the professional league, so I plan to launch the Hall of Fame next year."

The secretary suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. That works too. Next year's All-Star Weekend will definitely be a hit."

After the All-Star game ended, Sun Xiang was surrounded by reporters every day.

This made Sun Xiang afraid to go out.

Even when going out at night, he didn't dare to walk with Su Mucheng.

Because the reporter Lao Liu was also lurking in the surrounding bushes, taking photos secretly.

Now Sun Xiang is experiencing the troubles of being a star.

I finally understand why celebrities, even when fully disguised, are still constantly exposed for scandals and controversies.

These reporters are really shameless when it comes to secretly taking photos and getting juicy gossip.

Fortunately, these reporters are human too. After lying in wait for half a month without making any progress, they gave up on their own.

And at this time, the Spring Festival holiday is just around the corner.

The 25th round of the professional league has concluded, and here are the current standings for each team.

The invincible Samsara team remains in first place, with a record of 23 wins and 2 losses, far ahead of the leader.

Samsara continues to perform strongly and is the team with the highest chance of winning the championship this season.

Then there's Team Tiny Herb, ranked second with a record of 22 wins and 3 losses.

Third is Tyranny, with 21 wins and 4 losses.

However, Excellent Era has already climbed to 4th place, and their record is the same as Tyranny's, 21 wins and 4 losses.

However, they have 2 fewer points than Tyranny.

The fifth place is Blue Rain, with a record of 20 wins and 5 losses.

The sixth place team is Howling Team, with 18 wins and 7 losses.

The seventh and eighth are currently Void and Hundred Flowers, respectively.

However, there are still 13 rounds of matches left in this season, so it is still unknown which teams will ultimately make it to the playoffs.

After the 25th round of matches, the Glory League also ushered in the Spring Festival holiday.

Excellent Era held its year-end meeting, recognizing everyone's hard work and awarding year-end bonuses to all employees.

This made all the employees of Excellent Era very happy, and everyone went to toast Tao Xuan during the banquet.

However, Sun Xiang noticed that Tao Xuan's hair had turned completely white this year.

Although not completely white, it is a mix of black and white, with at least a third of the hair being white.

Tao Xuan wasn't like this before.

I never expected that Tao Xuan would turn out like this after not seeing him for more than a week.

Did you dye your hair white on purpose?

Slightly drunk, Sun Xiang asked curiously, "Brother Tao, why did you dye your hair white? Is this melancholic hairstyle popular among middle-aged people these days?"

Tao Xuan was slightly taken aback.

Popularity?

Dyed?

of course not.

It was just that his hair turned white overnight.

Tao Xuan shook his head: "It's not dyed, it's just that I'm getting old."

Sun Xiang smiled and said, "Brother Tao, you're only forty years old, in your prime. You're not old at all."

But Tao Xuan seemed unwilling to answer the question, and instead sighed, "There's no need to care too much about my hair. Everyone will grow old, slowly, just like our parents. They were young once too, and they were once full of vigor."

"Accept it, because that's life!"

"???"

Listening to Tao Xuan's remarks, Sun Xiang was somewhat confused.

But then, Cui Li whispered in Sun Xiang's ear, "President Tao's mother passed away last week, and he has no relatives now."

So that’s it!
Sun Xiang suddenly realized.

No wonder I haven't seen Tao Xuan all week.

Sun Xiang thought Tao Xuan had gone somewhere to travel.

It turns out they went home to hold a funeral.

It is said that Tao Xuan's father passed away when he was very young, and his mother raised him single-handedly.

His mother never remarried because of him.

Now that his elderly mother has also passed away, he must be feeling very sad.

No wonder his hair turned white overnight.

"Brother Tao, please accept my condolences. I didn't know your mother had passed away," Sun Xiang said, patting Tao Xuan on the shoulder in comfort.

Tao Xuan gave a smile: "Thank you, I'm fine."

Despite his life being full of troubles, Tao Xuan's catchphrase is "It's nothing".

Sun Xiang also expressed his admiration for Tao Xuan: "Actually, I really admire you. You're so strong. Even after such a big thing happened, you didn't show a trace of sadness. If Manager Cui hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you had gone through the pain of losing a loved one."

Tao Xuan smiled slightly: "Actually, when you reach my age, you will understand that it's not that we don't have passion and sadness, it's just that our passion and sadness are usually hidden in life and are not easily seen by others."

"The way you're talking makes it sound like you're an old man."

"How old are you? I'm a decade or two older than you, am I not an old man?"

"Time flies so fast!"

Looking at Sun Xiang and the other young people, Tao Xuan felt quite emotional: "When you're young, time is like gold, heavy and substantial, and it passes slowly. Joy and sorrow are both weighty. But after you reach middle age, time is like roadside weeds. Grab a handful and ten or twenty years will pass. Joy and sorrow become like passing clouds."

"You call that maturity and composure; we're just young and reckless."

"This is what young people should be like. Young people should act like young people, with dreams, spirit, curiosity and drive to pursue the unknown, and even a little sentimentality, and some arrogant and absurd ideas. This is what young people should be like."

Sun Xiang did not deny this.

Sun Xiang clinked glasses with Tao Xuan and then asked a question he had always wanted to ask: "President Tao, actually, I've always had a question."

"You said."

"Why did you choose to kick Ye Xiu out and force him to retire last year, instead of sending him to another team and getting a substantial income? With Ye Xiu's value, he could have earned at least ten million in salary, right?"

If it were Tao Xuan, he would decide to replace Ye Xiu with Sun Xiang.

The best solution is not to drive Ye Xiu away, but to trade him away.

With Ye Xiu's status and position, he would be highly sought after by any team he was traded to.

Tao Xuan glanced at Sun Xiang and shook his head slightly: "Ye Xiu and I have known each other for ten years and have always been friends. The way you described might give me some money, but it would be too unfair to my conscience and too unfair to Ye Xiu."

"Although I am not a good person, I like to use clean means to reach a bright ideal. A person should not only maximize their own happiness, but also make others happier because of their existence."

"I knew Ye Xiu wouldn't stay and didn't want to go to another team, so I forced him to retire. This is not only good for him, but also for Excellent Era. It's a win-win situation."

"I see."

Sun Xiang suddenly realized.

No wonder Ye Xiu never said a bad word about Tao Xuan or blamed Tao Xuan after leaving Excellent Era.

In fact, Tao Xuan's actions may seem heartless to outsiders, but Tao Xuan has truly done everything he could for Ye Xiu.

Driving Ye Xiu away and forcing him to retire is actually for Ye Xiu's own good!

"Life is not a movie, but it's harder than a movie."

"Tao Xuan, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"
