"Hmm!" Jiang Wenzhou pulled out a stool and sat down beside him. "Originally, you two should be happy together... but now, something just happened."
As he spoke, Jiang Wenzhou pulled up the latest news in the industry from his phone.
Zhang Qian explained, "After the Autumn Tournament, Qiao Ran performed brilliantly. Many teams followed suit, recruiting large numbers of female players for their youth training programs. Some were indeed recruiting talent, but some... hehe... were just trying to take advantage of the situation."
Jiang Wenzhou followed up on Zhang Qian's words, "Just today, it was revealed that a team captain exploited his position to get a female trainee pregnant. He originally wanted to settle the matter privately by offering her some money, but she turned out to be quite stubborn, and the whole thing got out of hand."
"You know how serious the sexism is in our industry. Qiao Ran has worked so hard to gain a foothold... If you were photographed at this moment, or something, you'd be pushed to the forefront again."
…
Pei Yan browsed the comments under the news with one hand, and there were a lot of disgusting insults.
The most bizarre thing is that no matter how you look at it, the captain of that team is the main party at fault, but all the comments are directed at the woman.
Pei Yan's expression grew worse the more he looked at it. Finally, he simply closed the news page and returned the phone to Jiang Wenzhou.
"Don't worry, Qiao Ran and I will pay attention to it during this period. We have no plans to make it public for the time being."
Pei Yan had indeed thought about making it public earlier, but after seeing Qiao Ran's reaction after the nightmare, Pei Yan started to think more about it.
No matter what, his relationship with Qiao Ran would definitely cause quite a stir online. Qiao Ran still had some mental issues, and Pei Yan couldn't guarantee whether the situation would be exacerbated by excessive pressure.
Anyway, it's fine with him and Qiao Ran the way they are now.
As for making it public, let’s wait until Qiao Ran has completely come out of the haze.
"By the way, it's enough for me to know about this matter. Don't go to Qiao Ran alone to talk about it later." Pei Yan reminded.
"I understand. If we tell Qiao Ran, we won't leave you here alone. Qiao Ran is our group's favorite now, and you are not the only one protecting him." Jiang Wenzhou had never seen Pei Yan like this before.
…
After finishing the conversation, Pei Yan returned to the room.
Lying in bed, she suddenly remembered something.
Qiao Ran is a girl, and there were no special places for female players in the youth training. How did she get into the ranks of youth training students?
Once the seed of curiosity is planted, it will not stop until it takes root and sprouts.
Pei Yan thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out.
Just contact the person involved.
Y: Girlfriend? Resting?
Qiao Ran was studying the bottles and jars that Hang Ying had given her before. She searched Baidu for tutorials on how to use skin care products and applied them on her face, following the instructions in the videos on her computer.
The phone placed aside rang.
Qiao Ran leaned over and opened it with his finger.
At this moment, Qiao Ran's hands were still stained with skin care products, and she could only use one finger to type a reply.
The support also killed randomly: Ready to sleep? What happened?
Qiao Ran seemed to have become immune to Pei Yan calling her "girlfriend" through the screen.
Y: I suddenly thought of a question and I’m a little curious.
While Pei Yan was replying, Qiao Ran didn't follow the steps in the video. He wiped his face roughly, packed up the skin care products, and leaned back on the bed.
The support also kills randomly: What’s the problem?
Y: I remember that the team’s youth training never recruited girls. How did you get into the youth training?
So that was the problem...
Why did Pei Yan suddenly think of asking this?
The support also killed randomly: I really have no tricks, this is an opportunity I won myself.
Pei Yan found Qiao Ran's reply even more interesting when he saw it.
Y: How do you mean?
Qiao Ran's thoughts drifted away as Pei Yan's questions reached him...
There were indeed some twists and turns before she was able to enter the youth training.
When she first went to sign up, the person in charge of admissions saw that she was a woman and told her to leave quickly and not to make trouble and waste everyone's time.
Qiao Ran felt embarrassed but unwilling to give up. He clenched his fists and forced himself to argue with the recruiter.
What it boils down to is that the recruitment information does not explicitly state that only boys are recruited, and e-sports is about technology, not gender. Now that I think about it, it's actually a bit unreasonable.
But at that time, Qiao Ran just lacked such an opportunity. Even if she was considered to be mentally ill, she was unwilling to give up.
In the end, the person in charge of recruitment and registration was so annoyed by Qiao Ran that he went to find the coach who was in charge of youth training at the time.
The coach was a good man. After meeting Qiao Ran, he talked to Qiao Ran alone for a few minutes and decided to give Qiao Ran a chance.
As long as Qiao Ran can defeat the existing youth trainees and prove her strength, the youth training camp will make an exception and admit her.
The results are obvious...
The youth training coach valued talent and thought that since Qiao Ran had the ability, it might be worth a try.
Qiao Ran's performance did not disappoint. She was always the most serious and hardworking person in training. Often, when everyone else was resting, she would still practice over and over again, watching the replay videos over and over again.
So later when Zhang Qian went to ask if there were any good talents among the youth training group, the youth training coach sent Qiao Ran's information as well.
Unfortunately, Qiao Ran was rejected because of her gender...
…
After finishing his recollection, Qiao Ran organized his words and briefly told Pei Yan what had happened.
When Pei Yan found out, he felt relieved for a moment.
Fortunately, due to the many coincidences that occurred during this process, Qiao Ran finally joined the team.
The support also kills randomly: Why do you suddenly think of asking me this?
Y: I thought of it by chance and was a little curious.
After getting the answer, Pei Yan said good night to Qiao Ran and put down his phone. The doubts in his mind were resolved and he could sleep well.
——
In the next few days, everyone continued to train intensively.
All the teams have ended their holidays, so Zhang Qian has scheduled one training match after another and they are fully booked.
Qiao Ran only glanced at the news about another team's female youth trainee getting into trouble on Weibo when he had some free time, and didn't read it in detail.
As for those criticisms of female professional players, she didn't take them to heart.
There are too many people in this society who harbor malice towards women. Qiao Ran has no way to control their muddy thoughts. All he can do is make himself stronger.
As for the relationship between Qiao Ran and Pei Yan, everything remained the same, without any impact.
In fact, as Jiang Wenzhou and Zhang Qian said, everyone noticed the warming changes between Qiao Ran and Pei Yan, and Qiao Ran smiled more often than before.
But everyone seemed to have made an agreement, and everyone was very sensible and did not expose the matter.
Even Zhao Jie reduced the number of times he joked about these two people.
It was another afternoon, and Jiang Wenzhou and Zhang Qian came back from outside.
Everyone who had just gotten up had just finished lunch and was taking a nap on the sofa.
"We'll gather in the conference room for a meeting in half an hour. The specific arrangements for this year's spring season have been finalized." Zhang Qian informed everyone.
Su Yang pointed at himself and asked, "Should I join in too?"
"You don't want to go?" Zhang Qian asked.
"No, no, no! Of course I do!" Su Yang said quickly, "It's just... I see everyone is doing well... It seems no one wants me to take their place..."
Sun Kai was worried that the new substitute might feel overwhelmed, so he smiled and patted his shoulder: "It's hard to say. Who knows what will happen until the last second."
"That's right, maybe I ate something bad and got diarrhea." Zhao Jie finished speaking, but then felt something was wrong and quickly cursed. "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! How could I curse myself?"
Su Yang knew that everyone was saying this for him, and he was very grateful: "It's okay! Since you're taking me with you, it would be best if I'm not needed! I'll show you the water dispenser!"
"This is the first time I see someone so happy about looking at a water dispenser." Pei Yan smiled, obviously very satisfied with Su Yang's calmness.
