Chapter Three: The City Watches Him Rise

"Everyone outside thinks you are performing in a discarded heir's tantrum. They say this club is worth one hundred yuan and your careers can be liquidated with it." He faced Lu Ye. "Do not prove anything for me. Increase your own price." Lu Ye stood first. "Then let's make sure they can't afford us." Donggang scored again in the fifty-eighth minute. Blaze did not collapse. At sixty-two, Qin removed the injured Chen Fang and switched to two forwards. In the sixty-seventh, Donggang brought on veteran defender Luo Qiang. Chenzhou's hands tightened. Details could change. Habits were harder. Luo's first touch was a header back to the keeper. Lu Ye did not move. His second was a sideways pass.
