Outside the door was a face that he was very familiar with. There was no makeup on her fair face, a neat ponytail, and she was wearing a loose white T-shirt and jeans.
The most common outfit does not affect Qiao Ran's natural beauty at all.
Ye Xiaofan couldn't help but feel his heartbeat speed up, and his words became stammering: "Female...ah! No...hello, who are you looking for?"
It was a hot day with scorching sun, but Qiao Ran just stood in the sun without even an umbrella.
It turns out that the goddess being rough is not just a character setting, she is really rough.
Ye Xiaofan stared at Qiao Ran until Zhao Jie's urging voice came, bringing him back to his senses.
"Xiao Fan, who is that? Is our new assistant here? Why are you standing at the door without moving?"
"Is your captain here?" Qiao Ran was not good at dealing with strangers, so he could only try to smile politely.
"Captain...Captain? Here! Here!" Under the filter of fans, Ye Xiaofan didn't ask any more questions and made way for Qiao Ran to enter.
"You sit here first, I'll go find the captain." Ye Xiaofan considerately poured a glass of water for his goddess, and then, without waiting for Qiao Ran to say thank you, he ran upstairs.
Sun Kai and Zhao Jie looked at each other, asking each other what was going on.
Qiao Ran sat in one place, feeling very nervous. He picked up the water cup and took two sips to moisten his dry lips.
......
"Captain, is someone looking for you?" Ye Xiaofan pushed open the door of the conference room.
Pei Yan just faintly heard the doorbell: "Is someone here?"
"No... not the new support, it's... it's my goddess! She said she's looking for you!"
"Your goddess? What do you mean by your goddess?" Jiang Wenzhou handed the contract to Pei Yan while nagging Ye Xiaofan, "I say, are you out of your mind, kid? Do you think the team is a place where anyone can join?"
Ye Xiaofan was excited to see Qiao Ran, but only then did he realize that he had made a big mistake.
She lowered her head and clasped her fingers helplessly: "I...I'm sorry...I'll let her leave now."
"How do you plan to drive them away? Invite them in nicely and then kick them out for no reason?" Jiang Wenzhou was so angry at Ye Xiaofan, the bastard, that he felt dizzy.
Zhang Qian patted Pei Yan and said, "You should go and take a look."
Pei Yan looked at the time again and went downstairs.
…
In the lobby on the first floor, Qiao Ran quietly looked at everything in the base.
I was in NSD youth training before, which was at the youth training base next door. I didn’t have the chance to come here and take a look until I left.
Qiao Ran took another sip of water and his eyes fell on the display cabinet on the side.
There are many trophies of various sizes inside, which are all the honors that NSD has achieved in the past two years.
I really hope that she will have a share of the trophies here in the future.
Qiao Ran was staring at the trophy when Pei Yan came down from upstairs.
With one hand in his pocket, even though he is wearing the simplest casual clothes, he is still eye-catching.
As soon as he went downstairs, Pei Yan saw Qiao Ran sitting there.
Her outfit was not very fancy, but it gave off an unforgettable sense of refinement. Perhaps because she had been outside in the sun for quite a while on the way here, her porcelain-white face was now stained with a light blush.
Pei Yan followed her gaze and naturally found that her eyes fell on their trophies.
Moreover, Pei Yan also discovered that when Qiao Ran looked at these trophies, his eyes were filled with envy and desire.
"I'm sorry, but you need to contact our manager first for interviews or cooperation, so I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip." Pei Yan walked over, pretending not to know that Qiao Ran was the anchor.
The team is full of monks. It has been many years since I have seen such a beautiful girl. Even if I don’t have any feelings, I still want to take a few more glances to feast my eyes.
Hearing Pei Yan's words hinting at his intention to expel him, Zhao Jie blurted out, "Didn't Xiaofan say she was his goddess? I remember his goddess was a news anchor, not a reporter or advertiser..."
Such a thoughtless action naturally earned him a stab from Pei Yan.
Zhao Jie shrank his neck in fear and fell silent.
This was the first time that Qiao Ran met Pei Yan face to face. It was certainly different to see him in person than through the screen!
Her uneasy act of picking at the disposable paper cup gave her away.
Seeing Pei Yan approaching, Qiao Ran stood up.
She was 1.67 meters tall, which was not considered short among girls, but she was only barely taller than Pei Yan's shoulders.
"I'm not here for an interview or to seek cooperation." Qiao Ran tried to look calm. "Didn't you invite me here?"
Qiao Ran's voice was not loud, but every word was clear.
Zhao Jie and Sun Kai, who were huddled together on the sofa, instantly activated their gossip radars! Their eyes lit up, and they pricked up their ears to hear what was going on.
"I made an appointment with you?" Pei Yan's eyes met Qiao Ran's.
Qiao Ran didn't evade the question at all, and there was no sign that he was lying.
"Why don't I remember?"
In fact, Pei Yan already had a guess in his mind that he felt was too outrageous.
Qiao Ran seemed to have anticipated this. He opened his phone, switched the interface to the chat box with Pei Yan, and handed it to Pei Yan.
"Look."
The interface clearly displayed their conversation record from yesterday.
For a moment, it was not only Pei Yan who was stunned, but also the two people on the sofa who were waiting to hear gossip, and Ye Xiaofan who had just come downstairs.
Especially Ye Xiaofan, who was frozen at the stairs as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Pei Yan didn't take the phone Qiao Ran handed him. He just glanced at the chat history and frowned slightly: "Are you Chouchou?"
"No." Since Qiao Ran was here, he was ready to confess everything.
She took a deep breath, but her heart was beating fast.
She wasn't sure about the final outcome: "Xiaoxiao is my friend, and our WeChat accounts are a bit similar."
Having said that, Pei Yan has realized that he added the wrong person.
"So, you're the one who played games with me all this time?"
Qiao Ran nodded: "It's me."
When Ye Xiaofan heard this, the confusion that had been occupying his mind for the past few days was suddenly answered.
"Why did you tell me today?" Pei Yan leaned to one side with his arms folded.
"It was wrong of me to have kept it secret. I can apologize. I just want a chance."
Before Pei Yan and Qiao Ran could come to a conclusion in their conversation, Jiang Wenzhou and Zhang Qian came downstairs one after another.
Jiang Wenzhou even checked his watch: "Pei Shen, ask the anchor you want to recruit to the team about what time he will arrive. I have an appointment with a sponsor later, so I might have to leave."
"No need to ask, the person is already here." Pei Yan's expression did not change.
For a moment, Qiao Ran wasn't sure whether Pei Yan was angry or something else.
"Are you here? Where are you?"
Jiang Wenzhou looked around and saw no other stranger except the attractive girl standing next to Pei Yan.
Pei Yan signaled Jiang Wenzhou with his eyes.
After Jiang Wenzhou realized what was happening, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.
After finally digesting this information, he pointed at Qiao Ran and said, "Isn't it the anchor named Chou Chou? How come she turned out to be a girl?"
"Chou Chou is a girl?" Jiang Wenzhou, in doubt, turned his gaze to Ye Xiaofan, who loved watching live broadcasts the most in the team.
Ye Xiaofan was thinking about a new question at the moment: Their captain also had a slip of the hand?
Hearing Jiang Wenzhou's question, Ye Xiaofan came back to his senses: "Xiu Xiu is a man, but my goddess is a woman!"
Jiang Wenzhou: "..."
Isn't this nonsense? Is he blind and can't he see it?
Zhang Qian has been staring at Qiao Ran since he came down, and he always feels that Qiao Ran's face is familiar to him.
When Ye Xiaofan finished speaking, Zhang Qian slapped his head and remembered: "Have you ever participated in our team's youth training?"
"Coach Zhang still remembers me?"
Qiao Ran has always regretted not being selected for the youth training program.
But the market environment is like this, and as the coach and senior management of the team, we must consider it from a comprehensive perspective.
Although her grades were good at the time, they were not one in a million and she was not the only one who could be selected.
After weighing the pros and cons, she felt it was understandable to choose a male player who was similar to her, or even slightly worse than her.
After all, capital is not a philanthropist who helps people realize their dreams.
Although he understood, Qiao Ran was not convinced.
"Then you should know why the team didn't choose you before." Zhang Qian spoke frankly. "Looking at the entire industry, there may be some technically skilled female streamers, but have you ever seen a professional female player make it to the finals? In previous tournaments, which team that advanced had a female player in the starting lineup?"
"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean I can't." A stubborn look suddenly appeared in Qiao Ran's eyes.
The author has something to say:
I really didn’t mean to have a writer’s block, I just… just couldn’t hold back any more writing ┭┮﹏┭┮
It's really hard to be a novice author. Why should a novice like me write about e-sports?
