Qiao Ran turned his head away and stopped looking at Pei Yan, trying hard to cool down the temperature on his face so as not to let Jiang Wenzhou, who was communicating with the photo retoucher nearby, notice anything unusual.
Jiang Wenzhou turned around and saw Qiao Ran lowering his head, looking like he wanted to bury it in the ground. His first reaction was that Pei Yan was scolding him again.
But this is neither training nor reviewing, so why is Pei Yan training someone?
Jiang Wenzhou, puzzled, glanced casually and his eyes were fixed on the coffee in Pei Yan's hand.
After a little thought, Jiang Wenzhou felt that he might know the answer.
"Qiao Ran, come take a look at the photos. Pick a few you like. I'll send them to the club's operations team and have them create a nine-square grid. I'll send it to you when the official announcement is made."
When Qiao Ran heard Jiang Wenzhou calling him, he glanced at Pei Yan, whose expression remained unchanged, answered, and ran away from Pei Yan.
"Look? What do you think?" Jiang Wenzhou was 120% satisfied with Qiao Ran's set of photos.
"They are all good." Qiao Ran has always been rough about these things. In her opinion, all these photos of herself are similar.
It's like asking a straight man what the difference is between Chanel 58 Velvet Red Brown and TF80 Red Brown.
"Oh~ This is the confidence of a beautiful woman." Jiang Wenzhou teased with a smile.
"The second one in the first row, the last one in the second row, the first one in the third row..." Pei Yan came over at some point and stood behind them.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You've always had high standards. Take a look. Do you have anything else? I'll collect nine and send them to operations."
Qiao Ran stood aside. For some reason, Pei Yan's selection of her photos made her feel uneasy.
My mind began to involuntarily recall whether I had performed poorly during the photo shoot just now, and whether the photos would turn out weird.
Fortunately, Pei Yan was very quick in choosing and had selected all the photos in a short while. He didn't even look at the remaining photos.

On the way back, Qiao Ran kept fiddling with his team uniform, touching the sleeves and the zipper from time to time. It was obvious that he really liked it.
"They have been complaining about our team uniforms for so long, and this time we have found a like-minded person." Jiang Wenzhou saw Qiao Ran's little actions through the rearview mirror and joked.
Pei Yan was browsing his phone at the side. He smiled when he heard this but did not respond.
Qiao Ran stopped his hand somewhat embarrassedly, pretending to turn his head to look at the scenery, and silently told himself in his heart that he could not embarrass himself again.
"By the way, I've been wanting to ask you, Qiao Ran, where did you get that rubbish booklet you gave to LC? I'm shocked, okay? You're really a man who would make a big splash if you do something quiet!" Jiang Wenzhou was afraid that Qiao Ran would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to find a topic.
"That..." Qiao Ran touched his nose. "I think it was given out during a neighborhood committee promotion... I don't quite remember. I probably just stuffed it in my pocket. I didn't wear it much afterwards, so I just hung it up. I just happened to feel something in my pocket, and when I took it out, I saw it was this."
"Oh my god, that was truly spectacular, a killer move!" Jiang Wenzhou slapped his thigh as he recalled the scene. "I was so mad I wanted to rush up and punch him, but after you did that, all my anger went away. I just wanted to laugh. Hahahaha!"
"Have you sent the photos to the operations department? Did the club tell you the specific time for the official announcement?" Pei Yan suddenly spoke, interrupting the two of them, his smile no longer on his face.
Jiang Wenzhou heard Pei Yan's tone was wrong, turned around and asked, "You said it was evening, what's wrong?"
Pei Yan handed his phone to Jiang Wenzhou in the front seat. "LC posted on Weibo, saying they saw us filming a promotional video for our new team member. It confirmed that our new support player is a female player. It's already trending."
"Fuck! Damn it! Those LC bastards! They must have grown up eating shit!" Jiang Wenzhou, who has always been very concerned about his image, couldn't help but curse.
At the same time, Pei Yan's phone kept vibrating as people from all walks of life sent him messages.
WD-Ayan: Pei Shen? Isn't your new support Chou Chou? What did I miss?
SJ-Muyi: The news from LC is true. Is the girl next to you in the photo really the support who played a training match with us last time?
Fat Jie: Holy shit! Captain, are you guys okay? Did you run into those bastards from LC?
It’s you, Uncle Kai: The coach asked you to come back quickly, for fear that someone would come and ambush you.
…
Pei Yan turned off his phone and didn't plan to reply to any of the calls.
"What the hell is going on here..." Jiang Wenzhou speechlessly called the club to change the originally planned official announcement time.
Qiao Ran took out his cell phone and planned to check what was happening online.
Before he could even open the Weibo post, Pei Yan snatched the money away from his hand.
"team leader!"
"Don't look at it. Don't let this affect your training later."
Looking at Pei Yan's expression, even if Qiao Ran hadn't seen it, he could probably guess what people were saying online.
There will only be more, not fewer, of the unpleasant things like what LC said about her on the Internet.
"Captain, please stop holding my phone. I'll be posting on Weibo soon for the official announcement. Just let them talk. I'm not that fragile. They can criticize me over the internet, but it won't hurt me."
Pei Yan sat there, still motionless, with no intention of returning the phone to Qiao Ran.
Qiao Ran could only continue to persuade him earnestly: "I accepted your invitation and considered all these things before joining the team. Since I have chosen to pursue a professional career, these are what I have to face."
Qiao Ran's eyes were unusually firm at this moment, not at all like he usually did not dare to speak loudly.
Pei Yan finally returned the phone to Qiao Ran, but reminded her not to get carried away and argue with netizens except for forwarding the official announcement later.
Qiao Ran is not a flower in a greenhouse and does not need too much protection.
"I understand." Qiao Ran got his phone back and clicked on Weibo.
At this moment, #NSD女助# and #NSD藥丸#, the two topics are occupying the third and fourth places in the hot searches.
There was a lot of cursing going on inside, and those people who stood up yesterday and said that girls should have a place in the e-sports arena were almost nowhere to be seen.
LC's stinky assistant who received Qiao Ran's brochure took a sneak shot of their backs while they were away and posted it on Weibo.
In the photo, she and Pei Yan are standing next to each other, with Jiang Wenzhou walking slightly ahead.
In addition to fans who appreciate his skills, Pei Yan also has many wife fans who admire his looks.
The news released before had no truth without pictures, and fans have always been self-comforting, so no one took the news seriously.
Today's photos undoubtedly became a slap in the face of those fans, waking them up completely.
For a moment, not only were people cursing Qiao Ran in the square, but there were also many people cursing Pei Yan.
Blame me: What the hell? They really hired a female support? Did NSD, from the coach to the players, get their asses kicked?
Suit Wedding Dress: Look at that back view, those long legs! Is this a support for the team, or something else? Can he play well in the game like this?
Why are you pulling me: You haven’t even joined the team yet, but you’re so close to the NSD captain. You can tell at a glance that you’re not a serious woman!
I don't mess with love: Hilarious! Who would go to a bunch of men with a decent woman? Qiuqiu Pei Shen, wake up, don't let yourself be seduced!
I want to say with Pei Shen: Where did this Sima internet celebrity come from? Please go away and stop causing trouble for other teams!
Feng Fengle: I can’t tell which female anchor this is from the back. I’m going to send her a razor blade!
…
Qiao Ran marked several pages in a row, cursing with the same words over and over again, arranging and combining them repeatedly, but there was really nothing new to come.
Qiao Ran, who originally planned to log off, had a lot of messages stored in private messages.
I clicked it curiously.
Breaking up with the cafeteria: Qiao Qiao, isn't that you in the photo on NSD trending? I remember you had that dress... Please reply to my message when I see it, I'm so anxious!
Insomnia Dream: Before, they loaned NSD a new support who was a woman, and they said it was you. Now that the gender is confirmed, the person is not confirmed as well, right?
Nian Yu Bei Shi: My dear Qiao, you've been missing for so long, why don't you come out and say something? Is your hand healed yet? Are those things on the Internet not true?
…
The private message should have been sent not long ago, and these fans are still eagerly waiting for Qiao Ran's reply.
As a result, he didn't receive any reply or clarification, only received the message that the message was read. A few minutes later, Qiao Ran reposted the official announcement from the team's official Weibo account using his new Weibo account.

The lousy author is going bald every day wondering what to write!
