"It's not lunchtime yet, let's wait until then."
Faced with Lee Doo-hwan's request, Lee Sang-hyeok came up with a perfectly plausible reason.
"Sang-hyeok, you're not going to say you have to leave early and then invite me back another time, are you?"
Seeing that his little scheme had been exposed, Lee Sang-hyeok didn't say anything, but just coughed awkwardly twice.
"Doo-hwan, don't stand there, find a place to sit." He brushed aside this troubling question.
Upon hearing this, Lee Doo-hwan gestured for Koo Sung-bin to sit on the sofa, then looked at the others who also wanted to find a place to sit.
"Zhou Xuan, do you think a bottle of water will just magically appear in front of me?"
Having already learned his lesson, Lee Joo-hyun clearly understood Lee Doo-hwan's meaning this time.
Even though I was extremely annoyed, I could only obediently run over and grab a bottle of water.
Of course, while his body spoke the truth, he was secretly thinking about how to properly accuse Lee Doo-hwan.
Before he could think too much about it, Lee Doo-hwan yelled at him again.
"Hey, are you out of your mind? You just take a bottle because I told you to!"
Doesn't your brother Shengbin need to drink?
"Don't you, Sang-hyeok-hyung, need a drink?"
"I can do it myself." Lee Sang-hyeok quickly got up, went to the side to get two bottles of water, and then handed one to Koo Sung-bin.
Seeing this, Lee Doo-hwan didn't know what to say, and felt a sense of disappointment and frustration.
No wonder Lee Sang-hyeok couldn't keep the team in check after I left.
If I were here...
Dare to slack off? Believe me or not, I'll just follow in the footsteps of that guy next door, Ambition, and give you a proper baseball lesson!!!
……
The news that Lee Doo-hwan had returned quickly reached the ears of others.
Bae Joon-sik (Bang) and Lee Jae-wan (Wolf) also came running over excitedly.
Wolf has just retired and is now a streamer under SKT, which can be considered as starting his retirement life ahead of schedule.
As for Bae Jun-sik, due to the defeat in S7 and the inability to redeem the team in S8, he chose to go to the LCS region to join 100T in S9 and is currently on vacation.
Furthermore, Lee Doo-hwan also heard that Bae Joon-sik seems to be quite interested in a female host from the LCK named Park Ji-sun, and the two may become a couple.
Upon meeting, the two quickly stepped forward and greeted each other warmly.
"Dou-hwan hyung, why didn't you tell me you were coming back!"
Hearing Bae Joon-sik's words, Lee Doo-hwan snorted coldly, "What, do I need to report back to you when I get back?"
"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to let you know so I could come pick you up," Bae Joon-sik said with a chuckle, then greeted Koo Sung-bin.
"Dou-hwan, you're back." At this moment, Lee Jae-wan also stepped forward to greet him.
"Hey Jae-wan, I heard you've been pretty arrogant while I was away from the club, saying things like SKT only has one Faker, and that's you, Lee Jae-wan!"
"No, no, I never said that. It's just something my fans in the live stream were spreading."
"If we're talking about SKT's only Lee Hyung, it has to be Doo-hwan!" Lee Jae-wan chuckled, knowing that Lee Doo-hwan was joking.
After all, the group had a pretty good relationship, having come together since ancient times.
Of course, it also depends on the time.
When Lee Doo-hwan is in a good mood, it's fine for them to say such things, but if he gets angry, he'll have to keep his mouth shut.
"Doo-hwan hyung, is Sung-bin hyung the AD you mentioned before?" Lee Jae-wan asked.
He had previously heard Jung Hoi-yoon mention that Lee Doo-hwan would introduce an AD carry to the team, and now that Koo Sung-bin has arrived, it must be that person.
"Hmm." Lee Doo-hwan nodded, then asked, "Jae-wan, have you considered making a comeback?"
"Sungbin can still play, don't you want to give him a try?"
"I think I'd better not." Upon hearing this, Lee Jae-wan quickly shook her head and refused. "Doo-hwan hyung, you don't know, I'm still taking medication."
"What's wrong? Is your brain still not functioning properly?"
"Sometimes good, sometimes bad," Lee Jae-wan sighed.
Lee Doo-hwan didn't say anything more; he just mentioned it briefly.
If Lee Jae-wan really wants to make a comeback, then he'll probably have quite a headache.
After all, there's already one in the bottom lane, so if there's another one...
Two lunatics are playing the bottom lane, how can this game be played?
However, this also shows just how brutal SKT's training was back then.
Otherwise, these two in the bottom lane wouldn't be like this: one wants to be a high-flyer, and the other has been retired for so long, yet his mental health issues haven't improved at all.
Back then, even if you truly had a mental illness and wanted to jump off a building, you still had to undergo training!
……
"Don't even mention it! If it weren't for Doo-hwan stopping me, I would have jumped right off here!" Bae Joon-sik walked to the window where he had stood and vividly described what had happened back then.
The group chatted casually, reminiscing about funny stories from the past, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This made Lee Joo-hyun, who had been disciplined twice by Lee Doo-hwan as soon as he returned, even more unhappy.
What's going on?
Why do they treat us completely differently than they treat us?
Do they look down on us, or do they think we're easy to bully?
……
About half an hour later, Zheng Huirun returned from outside.
He used to be just an employee of SKT, but now he has transformed into the manager of the League of Legends division of T1 esports club, dressed in a suit and tie, and is incredibly successful.
"Dou-hwan, it's been a long time."
Upon meeting, Jung Hoi-yoon warmly extended his hand and shook hands with Lee Doo-hwan.
However, when he saw Gu Shengbin standing to the side, his eyes immediately darkened.
Then, without realizing it, she blurted out what was on her mind: "Why isn't it Devonte?"
Upon hearing this, Koo Sung-bin, who was standing behind Lee Doo-hwan, immediately widened his eyes.
Although he was mentally disturbed, he wasn't stupid!
What do you mean by "Why isn't it Daipute?"
What do you mean by that regretful tone?
So, in your eyes, I'm not as good as him?
"Damn it, I could easily crush him if I ran into him!!!"
Koo Sung-bin's sudden loud voice startled Jung Hoi-yoon.
What's going on?
Why are his emotions so unstable?
However, considering that it was brought by Lee Doo-hwan, he didn't say anything.
That's not what I meant.
After a brief explanation, both sides quickly got down to business.
Now that the team has money, and Jung Hoi-yoon has just taken over as manager, he does need to produce some results to show his superiors. So, in order to be sure of winning over Lee Doo-hwan, the four-time champion, the price offered is six million US dollars, while the price offered to Koo Sung-bin is two million.
"Doo-hwan, what do you think?"
Looking at the contract in his hand, Lee Doo-hwan threw it on the table without thinking.
The money is a lot, but the contract is 1+1!
In other words, if a player performs well in the first year, the club has the right of first refusal to renew the contract for the same price in the second year; otherwise, if the player performs poorly, they are simply dismissed.
This made Lee Doo-hwan very unhappy.
"Hui Run, the reason I came back is not because I care about the club's money."
It's just that I'm the kind of person who's sentimental about the past.
I'm not satisfied with the contract; you must change it according to my instructions!
"This..." Zheng Huirun looked troubled.
"To tell you the truth, there are plenty of teams that want me to join, so T1 is not an exception."
Now I'm giving you a chance, you understand?
As he spoke, Lee Doo-hwan opened his phone and placed it in front of Jung Hoi-yoon.
