Star player's agent vs. genius national team player
In the final round of the 20/21 A-League season, Ye Mingshi was interviewed by Sky Sports before the match.
Reporter: "Miss Ye, as Xinxuan's former agent and former partner, how would you assess his performance at LBFC? Do you think he can lead LBFC to win this season's title?"
Ye Mingshi: "I hope he does well."
Reporter: "Are you avoiding the question?"
Ye Mingshi: "Yes."
Reporter: "Are you still in touch?"
Ye Mingshi: "We haven't been in touch for a long time."
Reporter: "Many fans say Xinxuan's years of loyalty to LBFC were misplaced. What do you think about that?"
After a long silence, Ye Mingshi gave a slight nod. "If that's what he wants, I wish him all the best."
"Xinxuan, first of all, best of luck in your match the day after tomorrow. I'm sure you've seen our interview with Miss Ye Mingshi. Is there anything you'd like to say?"
The man stood by the door, his path blocked by the reporters crowding around him. He was startled for only a moment, then passed the ball from his left hand to his right, his expression calm. "I hope she still hates me."
