Song Yuanxi hung her head and said, “You weren’t in Beijing, but I was.”

“I witnessed with my own eyes how a proud man like Brother Liangchuan had to bow down to people and buy them meals so that they could get sponsors. He had to explain eSports to people and what the official team was about.”

At that time, they were just kids.

And eSports were not well-known or well-developed.

At that time, it wasn’t even listed as a sport on the national agenda.

To adults at that time, eSports weren’t eSports as they are known it today. It was just a game, not a proper job.

No one was willing to invest in it.

Thinking back now, setting up an official team at that time was an unimaginable task.

Because they didn’t have money, they had to involve investors for sure. Otherwise, there was no way they could set up the team club.

“My brother and Brother Liangchuan had to intercept the potential investing firms late at night, and spent great efforts to reinforce the differences between gaming and competition. Although they had started eSports competitions in other countries, it wasn’t the trend in our own country yet.”

Song Yuanxi looked like she was immersed in her memories now. “My brother and I never had a lot of savings to begin with. But in the end, because he had to run around with Brother Liangchuan, our family ran into difficulties. I still remember that at that time, I needed to pay 50 to my school for materials, but my brother couldn’t afford it.”

Soul Fighter had had to make a living to sustain both himself and his sister.

Shen Liangchuan, on the other hand, had been banished from the Shen family and hadn’t had a penny on him.

Amidst dealing with such difficult circumstances, they had never once thought of giving up.

Qiao Lian clenched her fists tightly.
