After Becoming My Former Teammate's Boss

NTC's former ADC and the LPL's only Grand Slam-winning ADC returns to esports after several years away, this time as the owner of NTC. On the day the team's new-season roster is announced, Xu Muyang gets torn to shreds by fans of his former teammate, Pei Jingxi. Fan 1: With a trash roster like this, they still have the nerve to set their sights on the finals? They'll be diving for last place in the league, more like. Fan 2: You fell out, so why not just go your separate ways? Why go to all this trouble to throw together a bunch of useless scrubs and ruin his career? Fan 3: Xu Muyang, be a decent person for once. Jingxi helped you win so many championships. Fan 4: You ruin someone's life over the tiniest disagreement. Guess rich kids really do get a great upbringing, huh? Fan 5: Pei Jingxi must have had the worst luck in the world to end up with you as a former teammate. Fan 6: He's such a pure-hearted pro player. How could you be so cruel to him?! A few months later, in the LPL Spring Split finals, the well-synergized and red-hot NTC swept their opponents 3:0, decisively taking home the Spring Split championship trophy and a ticket to that year's MSI. During the post-match interview, fans were overcome with emotion as they watched Pei Jingxi claim the league title after all these years. But the next moment, they heard their usually composed mid laner chuckle and answer the host: "I didn't think too much before the match. I just figured we had to win, otherwise someone would be whining pitifully in my ear again, 'Your fans are insulting me.'"
