Chapter 217 This Way, My Lord

An Jin's business trip this time was a legitimate business trip.

She had previously mentioned that she would have a chance to visit Jiang Jinhan once she arrived at the destination, but she ended up being so busy that she didn't have any free time.

An Jin had never commentated on a match before. Fearing a broadcast mishap, the organizers compiled all the explicit and implicit rules into a PowerPoint presentation, hoping An Jin would study it carefully.

An Jin did not disappoint the officials' expectations. After landing and taking a break for half a day, she started frantically looking at PowerPoint presentations in the hotel.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanyuan, who was on a business trip with An Jin, secretly discussed it with Yan Qing and recorded the scene of An Jin looking at the PPT and working hard in private. They made it into a sleep aid video and were just waiting for An Jin to finish explaining it before sending it out.

When An Jin heard about this from Yan Qing during her break, she was so happy that she took out Chen Su's supplementary credit card and took Zhang Yuanyuan shopping. She had never thought of such a good idea before.

As the old saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.

An Jin spent two days cramming at the hotel before going on stage, and the commentator she was assigned was someone An Jin knew personally.

The reason they are called "one-sided acquaintances" is because these two commentators had previously commentated on the Streamer Cup, and they were very familiar with An Jin, a popular player, but An Jin didn't have any impression of them.

That's normal, since An Jin usually spends her time either playing games with her boss or playing PvP. She rarely watches matches, unless there's a trending topic during a league match, otherwise she doesn't even watch the replays.

Lao Zhao and Lao Zhou are a well-known duo in the League of Legends commentary team.

The two men, who held secure jobs as commentators for the League of Legends, were given all sorts of nicknames by netizens because of their outstanding commentary skills, and at one point even lost their real names.

The dressing rooms for league game hosts are all shared.

Besides the two commentators, Lao Zhao and Lao Zhou, there was also a beautiful female host sitting in front of the makeup mirror, preparing to put on makeup.

An Jin arrived just in time; it wasn't too early or too late.

The three people in the dressing room had already learned about An Jin through various channels.

Old Zhao and Old Zhou stood up as soon as An Jin entered the door.

They had smiles on their faces, and although they were almost a decade older than An Jin, they addressed her as "sister" when they greeted her.

"Sister An'an is here. I've heard so much about you. I'm Lao Zhao."

"Hello, Sister An'an, I'm Lao Zhou."

The female host who was putting on makeup also stopped. She stood up and greeted An Jin with a smile, calling An Jin "sister" just like Lao Zhao and Lao Zhou.

The makeup artist was puzzled, but seeing that both the commentators and the host called An Jin that, she also whispered "sister" to her.

An Jin shook hands with the three people. Her expressionless face when she entered the room was warmed by their three "sisters".

"You're too kind, everyone. Just call me An'an."

After hearing An Jin's words, Lao Zhao and Lao Zhou started calling her by her name.

Compared to the livestreaming community where people address each other by name without distinction, the commentary and hosting circles, which have more frequent interactions with the entertainment industry, are much more particular about rules.

An Jin is a junior in the commentary and hosting circles, but she is a top figure in the live streaming influencer circle.

Its scale is so large that the opening match is something that many commentators and hosts can only dream of.

The news generated so much buzz that it trended on eighteen different topics on the same day it was released.

Although trending topics have become worthless in recent years, as anyone with a bit of money can get on them, even the worst trending topics still target the entertainment industry.

An Jin, an internet celebrity, has managed to dominate trending topics across various fields, demonstrating an astonishing level of influence that would leave many commentators speechless.

Three commentators and one host were in one room, and they talked about nothing more than games.

While putting on makeup, the female host listened to An Jin and others chatting about games. As she listened, she curiously turned her head to look over.

It turned out that An Jin and Lao Zhao had a fight. An Jin said that Jiang Jinhan was the best ADC in China, but Lao Zhao insisted that someone else was the best ADC in China.

Despite presenting facts and reasoning, the two die-hard fans couldn't convince each other and ended up fighting in the dressing room.

In the end, An Jin resorted to personal attacks and said she wouldn't listen.

Old Zhao, on the other hand, followed the fine tradition of Tang Sanzang, constantly talking about the achievements of the ADC players he promoted.

The female host watched anxiously, wondering whether she should tell the higher-ups about it, when An Jin and Lao Zhao somehow reconciled.

The two were laughing and joking, one talking about funny things that happened while commentating, and the other talking about the idiots he encountered during his live streams.

The female host, now fully made up, glanced at Lao Zhou, who sighed and reminded the two who were engrossed in their conversation.

"That's about it, time to go on stage."

The two then reluctantly shut up; An Jin went to put on makeup, and Lao Zhao went to change his clothes.

This makeup artist was also working on a quirky character like An Jin for the first time.

As she applied the makeup, she exclaimed inwardly that she was twice as fast as usual, finishing An Jin's makeup and styling in less than half an hour.

An Jin pursed her lips, looked at herself in the mirror, took out her ironed dress from her bag, and went to the dressing room to change.

The female host and makeup artist both gasped when they saw the dress.

Hearing the commotion, Old Zhou asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Female host: "Do you know how much the dress An An just took out of her bag costs?"

Mr. Zhou, who knew nothing about luxury goods, asked: "Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?"

The female host found the image on Baidu and told Lao Zhou the price: "Three hundred and eighty-eight thousand."

Old Zhou gasped, "So expensive!"

The female host nodded: "I wouldn't have recognized last year's Spring/Summer haute couture gowns if I hadn't seen the show."

Old Zhou nervously touched his three-thousand-yuan suit and said cautiously, "Then I'll have to be careful later, so I don't accidentally ruin An'an's dress."

The female host sighed and whispered, "Sigh... other anchors earn so much more, unlike us, whose salary for one game is only a little over two thousand."

Old Zhou stopped talking at this point. He glanced at the time, looked up and advised, "Oh dear, it's getting late. I need to go look at the script first. When An'an comes out, tell her to tell Old Zhao that I'm going to the set first."

The female host nodded wistfully to herself, "Go ahead."

She sighed again, both envying An Jin's beautiful dress and her high income.

After changing her clothes, An Jin came out of the dressing room and put the clothes she had taken off in the dressing room. When she came back, she saw that only Lao Zhao and the female host were left in the dressing room, so she asked about it.

Where's Lao Zhou?

Old Zhao stood up and said, "Old Zhou went to the scene. It's almost time, we should go too."

An Jin then realized that Old Zhao had been waiting for her.

She lifted her skirt and extended her right hand to Old Zhao, who was walking over.

Old Zhao looked at the pretty little hand in front of him and raised his head in confusion: "Huh? What's wrong? Is there something in your hand?"

An Jin clicked her tongue and said arrogantly, "My heels are so high, could you help me up?"

Old Zhao then understood what An Jin meant.

He reached out and took An Jin's hand, saying in a serious manner, "Young Master, please come this way with me~"
