Chapter 8: Distant Dreams
Yun Luoyang finally persuaded Yun Weiyang to help him and his parents discuss the issue of him taking a leave of absence from school to pursue a career.
It was agreed that he would go home tomorrow weekend and talk to his parents.
Ye Jianxue's words are not in a hurry for the time being.
After eating with them, Yun Luoyang also returned to school, preparing to bring back some clothes to be changed tomorrow.
He used to go home every weekend, but now he hasn't been back for almost half a year, so it's time to go home.
The next morning, Yun Luoyang took a taxi back to Hedong.
The home is quite far from the university, more than 30 kilometers away, one in the west of the river, one in the east of the river, two directions.
The Yun family is also a well-off family, living in a high-end community, a house of about 200 square meters, living in a family of four.
When I opened the door and went in, my father had not come back from work, my mother was cooking in the kitchen, and Yun Weiyang was watching TV in the living room.
"Mom."
Yun Luoyang shouted.
A response came from the kitchen: "Yo, are you willing to come back?" ”
Mom likes to choke people just as much as Yun Weiyang, and both brothers and sisters follow their mothers for this. Quarrel with Yun Weiyang Yun Luoyang dares, but quarrel with his mother, just wait for the coolness.
"It's back!"
He replied hummingly, went to the balcony to throw the dirty clothes in the washing machine, put the laundry detergent and started the washing machine, and then returned to the living room.
"You didn't mention it to your parents." Yun Luoyang sat next to Yun Weiyang and whispered.
"I'm not as stupid as you."
Yun Weiyang also responded in a low voice: "Dad will come back later, do you think you should talk about this matter with your mother first, or wait for your father to come back and talk about it together?" ”
Yun Dad belongs to the middle and senior management of a company, and he has no time off for a month, going to work at 8 o'clock in the morning, going home for dinner at noon, and leaving work on time at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Calculating the time, it will be 12 noon soon, and Dad should be almost back.
"Mom, don't tell her yet. She likes to beat people with clothes hangers, and when her father comes back, let's call my father to the room and tell him first, so that he can persuade my mother? ”
Yun Luoyang thought for a moment.
It may be the relationship between the liberal arts that my father studied and the science that my mother studied. My father has a gentler personality, but my mother has a bad temper and likes to beat people.
In order to get herself admitted to a good university, my mother resigned from the management of a cosmetics company and went home to prepare for the college entrance examination, which paid a lot for herself.
If you knew that you were going to take a break from school to play professionally, you would really break your leg.
Dad should be relatively open-minded, as long as he takes out his bank card and puts it on the table, he earns more in a few months than Dad earns in a year, which should convince him.
"Okay, don't blame me if I don't use what I say." Yun Weiyang began to get vaccinated.
"Don't worry, just help me speak."
Yun Luoyang thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "By the way, is Ye Jianxue's family so rich?" Tens of millions were taken out so casually? ”
Yun Weiyang nodded: "Xiaoxue's parents are very busy with business, and they often run around the country or abroad without being at home. In addition to the cooking aunt in the whole villa, only I will accompany her. This time she asked for money, and her parents also felt guilty before giving her money. ”
"I see."
Yun Luoyang suddenly realized, no wonder Yun Weiyang ran to Ye Jianxue's side when he was fine, he often lived in her house for two months during the summer vacation, it turned out that no one in the Ye family was at home.
"So Xiaoxue is actually very pitiful, when I am not there, she can only play games to relieve her loneliness."
Yun Weiyang felt a little sorry for Ye Jianxue, Ye Jianxue didn't have many friends, basically she was the only one. Usually when she is not around, she can only be alone at home, and it is miserable that no one accompanies her.
"It's okay, let's stay with her more in the future."
Yun Luoyang sighed in his heart, if he catches up with Ye Jianxue in the future, he will definitely be good to her.
"If you want to accompany me, what do you want to do?"
Yun Weiyang looked at Yun Luoyang with a vigilant face, and the woman's intuition told her that Yun Luoyang wanted to rob her good friend!
"What can I do, I can't do anything."
Yun Luoyang hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, what is the situation with that Lin Chuyun?" Seeing that she has been keeping a straight face, she doesn't seem to be very happy. ”
"Sister Lin?"
Yun Weiyang thought for a while and said: "It seems to be a relative of Xiaoxue's mother, a master's student who graduated from a famous foreign university, and a vice president of Xiaoxue's mother's company." As a result, Xiaoxue's mother felt sorry for Xiaoxue and transferred her over to help Xiaoxue get the so-called e-sports team, do you say she is happy? ”
"I see."
Yun Luoyang picked up the remote control and switched the soap opera on the TV to a channel.
Yun Weiyang was watching intently, the old brother switched the channel, and immediately became annoyed, while coming over to grab the remote control like a little tiger, he scolded angrily: "Yun Luoyang, you are sick, give me the remote control!" ”
"What's so good about soap operas, don't give it."
The two siblings began to fight again every day.
"Click!"
The outside door opened.
In came a tall, thin middle-aged man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and half white hair. The years don't seem to have left any traces on his face, and he can vaguely see that he must have looked very handsome when he was young.
"Xiaoyang is back."
Dad Yun changed into slippers, put the briefcase in his hand on the table in the small living room, and went straight back to the room to change his clothes.
"Dad."
Yun Luoyang hurriedly stood up, pushed Yun Weiyang, and motioned for her to follow.
Yun Weiyang reluctantly put down the remote control he had just grabbed and followed Yun Luoyang together.
"What's the matter, I don't have any living expenses again?"
Dad Yun took off his coat, revealing his gray shirt, took out the TV remote control from the bedside table, and turned on the TV in the bedroom, he likes to watch the noon news at noon.
Yun Luoyang said hesitantly: "Dad, there is something I want to tell you......
"You say." Yun Dad changed the channel to the noon news station.
Yun Luoyang thought that stretching out his head was a knife, and shrinking his head was also a knife, gritted his teeth and said, "That's the case, I want to ...... Take a year or two off from school. ”
"Take a leave of absence?"
The remote control in Dad Yun's hand shook, and his face suddenly sank: "Why do you want to suspend school?" ”
Yun Luoyang hesitated: "I recently found a job with a high salary, and now I ...... it."
"No matter how good the job is, you have to finish the book."
Dad Yun interrupted him rudely: "Needless to say, I won't agree to this." ”
Yun Luoyang also knew that this matter was not so simple, and hurriedly gave Yun Weiyang a look, and took out a bank card: "Dad, this is the money I have earned in a few months, with more than 600,000 yuan." ”
"More than 600,000?"
Dad Yun's eyes showed a hint of consternation.
As a middle and high-level manager of a private enterprise, he earns a lot of money, with 2-30,000 yuan a month.
In a year, it was less than 400,000.
What is Yun Luoyang doing, he has earned more than 600,000 yuan in a few months, so he won't be doing something illegal.
Dad Yun was much gloomy, and turned his head to look at him sharply: "What the hell are you doing?" ”
Yun Luoyang was a little frightened by his father's sharp eyes, and his heart was so empty that he couldn't do it, and his voice was much quieter: "Play games at school and get bonuses for participating in competitions." ”
"Playing games?" Yun Dad's voice suddenly raised an octave, as if suppressing his anger: "You play games every day at school? ”
"But ......"
"It's nothing, just because I didn't hear it this time, don't even think about it if you want me to take a leave of absence for you. Unless you get me out of this house. ”
Seeing that his father was furious, Yun Weiyang hurriedly said: "Dad, don't be angry first, listen to my brother explain things clearly." ”
"What is there to say, put a good university and go to play online games?"
Dad Yun roared: "If you dare to go, I will not have your son." ”
Yun Luoyang was dumbfounded.
He always thought that his father smiled every day, whether at work or at home, he has always been very gentle and a good talker.
never thought that such a person, once he touched his bottom line, would be more angry than a short-tempered person.
Yun Luoyang knows that at present, the e-sports industry in China belongs to a demonized group.
In the reports of parents and the media, esports is equivalent to online games.
Even as early as 2003, the country has included e-sports in the 99th official sports competition, and it has been vigorously promoted. And the General Administration of Sports has been acting as the organizer in China to hold large-scale e-sports competitions.
For example, the first National E-sports Games held in 2004, the 2007 Asian Indoor Games included e-sports in the official competition, the 2008 Olympic Games E-sports torchbearer, the 2009 WCG General Bureau held in China, and the 2012 E-sports was nominated for the 2016 Brazil Olympic Games. (Actually, it's 2020.) )
In 2013 and 2014, the General Administration of Sports took the lead in holding the NEST National E-sports Competition, and the CCTV Sports Channel broadcast a documentary of the e-sports team, including the 2014 S Tournament Global Champion Royalty.
From this point of view, the country is not actually without the development of e-sports, and for more than 10 years, it has been promoting and protecting the development of e-sports.
But.
Chinese esports has not really developed and is still in an environment of demonization.
In 2004, due to reports from parents, a large number of e-sports programs were blocked, and the e-sports business went underground.
In 2005, CCTV's "E-sports World" column was reported by parents to be suspended, and since then CCTV has no game columns about e-sports.
By 2013, the country formed an e-sports national team to compete in the 4th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.
Evergrande football player He Chao posted on Weibo: "E-sports is also a sport? You can win the Olympic championship by playing games, so it's really in vain for us to practice so hard in these projects, so let's just play the game. It sparked heated discussions among the whole people.
There are many examples of how both the national and local governments are sparing no effort to promote esports.
But after all, it was ruined in the hands of parents and the media.
Let's be honest.
The history of the early rise and fall of Chinese e-sports is far more than that, and the complex factors in it can write a long story of the development of Chinese e-sports in millions of words. (Afraid of being 404, I don't dare to write more.) )
To some extent, Yun Luoyang's debut has been considered smooth.
At least he didn't experience the bitterness and bitterness of the earliest batch of e-sports players back then, many people fell out with their families, went out to play games with their bags, ate steamed buns and pickles, and didn't have a few changes of clothes for several months in order to save money.
I have never experienced the kind of days when there is a meal and a meal is not a meal.
I still remember the photo of the big nose squatting on the ground in the corner of the train, going to the field to compete, and falling asleep tiredly. Bald, they ate instant noodles, begged their father and grandmother everywhere to find sponsorship, 50 yuan and 5 people spent a week, and their lives were very sad.
And now.
Yun Luoyang finally realized their mood with the big nose back then.
Parents don't understand, esports is not easy to come by.
Dreams, in fact, are far away.
