The change in online sentiment occurred a few hours after Pei Yan contacted his mother's agent.
It was just after training and time for dinner.
It is also the peak traffic period when students and office workers finish their day of study and work and start surfing the Internet.
While several people were eating, Jiang Wenzhou received a call from the club's top management.
After pressing the answer button, Jiang Wenzhou gestured to the people chatting and laughing at the table to silence them: "Hello."
"Why is it suddenly moving up? Didn't they say they would arrange the specific time after the new season's competition schedule was released?"
"Okay, I understand. I'll make arrangements for the next two days."
"Got it, I'll do it as soon as possible."
......
As he spoke, Jiang Wenzhou's face became darker and darker, and he finally hung up the phone angrily.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Qian put down his chopsticks. "What did I say to make you so angry?"
"Damn, the club is so inhumane." Jiang Wenzhou did not rush to explain, but opened Weibo first.
Sure enough, just as the club had told him, online public opinion suddenly changed. Several egalitarian influencers who supported gender equality spoke out and reposted and commented on an article about "Should there be a place for women in the e-sports industry?"
Their words may be sharp, while their arguments may be tactful. But throughout, they all support talented female gamers to try to pursue a professional career.
None of them mentioned Qiao Ran's name, but anyone with a little common sense and a little imagination could know that they were speaking up for Qiao Ran.
The e-sports trolls were stunned for a moment when they saw this change, but when they realized what was happening, they immediately started to tear each other apart.
Go back to the fountain and lie dead: Damn, what’s wrong with these big Vs, they are not even in the e-sports circle, what’s the point of scaring people, these women are just making trouble when they are professional players!
Professional home thief: It’s so funny, a woman goes to play professionally, and the game is stopped in the middle of the game because she needs to go downstairs to change her sanitary pad?
Don’t Talk About Feelings: What kind of background does this Qiao Ran have? It’s not easy for him to get these big guys to take action.
Cooperate sincerely: I’m afraid that NSD is worried that the base will be blown up after the official announcement, so they invested in public relations.
I need to study hard: Haha, maybe a female anchor made some unspeakable deal →_→
......
When e-sports players start to criticize others, taunts and swear words fly everywhere, and the whole canyon is the same.
When there are too many comments like this in the topic, it makes it difficult for passers-by who are just watching the fun to bear it.
Cute little cutie: Wow, what kind of faces do those stinky men have? Before talking about others, they should look at their own weight first!
Please call me Queen: Enough is enough! The team didn't make an official announcement, and the anchor didn't come out to speak. You guys made up the whole thing from beginning to end. You guys are bad at everything, but you're good at swearing.
Three Inch Sea Island Sunlight: The more you curse, the worse your skills are. Don’t criticize me, this is what our country’s Cheng Yaojin said!
Different from you: I’m not surprised. Everything is girls’ fault anyway. I’m born a girl, so I’m really sorry!
......
Maybe it's because they saw that not all people on the Internet were criticizing Qiao Ran anymore. Even anchors like Chou Chou and Moran took advantage of this wave of popularity to speak for Qiao Ran and publicly expressed their affirmation of Qiao Ran's skills.
The club feels that now is a perfect opportunity to officially announce Qiao Ran.
Once they miss the opportunity, they won’t be able to force Qiao Ran to leave. In the end, they will be the ones who have to work hard, and the loss will outweigh the gain.
So, he quickly called Jiang Wenzhou and asked him to arrange for Qiao Ran to take promotional photos as soon as possible and prepare for the official announcement.
Jiang Wenzhou was browsing Weibo while repeating the incident to everyone while cursing.
Qiao Ran didn't expect that the twists and turns caused by her joining the team would be more serious than she imagined.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something.
Pei Yan, standing by, seemed to have anticipated her thoughts. He turned around and spoke first, "Don't overthink it. It's inevitable to get criticized when playing professionally. Just think of it as training. Get used to it."
Ye Xiaofan was also afraid that his goddess would feel guilty, so he quickly comforted her: "That's right, when I joined the team, they said I was still a child. Don't pay attention to these guys. If they say that, they might not even get a 0 bar if they were thrown into the canyon!"
"Exactly. Don't you have people supporting you now? Even if it's not many..." Zhao Jie was also browsing his phone, switching to his secondary account to engage in a passionate confrontation with some trolls. "Once you win the game, everything will be fine."
"Are you arguing with netizens again?" Pei Yan glanced at Zhao Jie.
"Isn't this just to vent my sister's anger~"
"Jiang Wenzhou, are you still going to take care of him? If someone finds out about his secret account later, do you think we don't have enough to do now?" Pei Yan gave the task of disciplining Zhao Jie to Jiang Wenzhou.
Jiang Wenzhou snatched Zhao Jie's phone away: "Come on, just enjoy your meal and stop causing more trouble. Delete all those smurf accounts for me right away..."
"Tsk... I seriously suspect you're targeting me. This is team bullying! I want to protest!"
Pei Yan drank the soup in his bowl slowly and calmly: "Don't doubt it. Besides, protesting is useless."
"But I can't understand why these big Vs suddenly stood up? They have nothing to do with our e-sports circle." Sun Kai was browsing the topics on Weibo and pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose in confusion.
Jiang Wenzhou and Zhang Qian exchanged glances and turned their gazes to Pei Yan.
"Is this your doing?" Zhang Qian asked.
"Leave professional matters to professionals. No one is more professional than her when it comes to driving the trend of the Internet." Pei Yan said as he sent a message to express his gratitude to Lin Da's agent.
Soon, a message came back.
[Who is this girl who made you ask your mom to use her connections to get to me? She looks pretty. If you gamers don't want her, just give her to me. I promise to make her the next big female idol.]
Qiao Ran doesn't care about being a female star...
Pei Yan snorted in his heart, turned off his phone and put it on the table without replying.
——
The evening training went on as usual.
Qiao Ran acted more serious than before and began to try to communicate with his teammates directly.
After a whole night, Qiao Ran made almost no mistakes, and his level of coordination with others was obviously improved compared to the previous times.
Qiao Ran's progress is visible to the naked eye, and it has only been one day since she joined the team.
Zhang Qian watched from the sidelines with great satisfaction: "Not bad. If we keep practicing at this pace, we should have a good chance of getting a good ranking in the autumn competition."
"Okay, it's getting late. If you guys want to live stream, please do so for a while longer. Don't stay up too late. I'll organize the information from tonight's training tomorrow and review it with you."
As he was about to reach the door, Zhang Qian turned back and said, "Um...Qiao Ran, don't stay up all night like you did yesterday. You might have to take promotional photos tomorrow, so you need to get some rest. You can't let such a beautiful face go to waste."
——
"I haven't done a live broadcast in a long time." Pei Yan suddenly said this without any context.
Zhao Jie immediately followed up, "Oh my goodness, you still remember. Your fans hang out in our livestream room every day, and whenever they dig up something related to you, they'll wail for hours."
"Is it really that exaggerated..." Pei Yan tapped the table with his slender, clean fingers. "How about I play it for a while today?"
When Ye Xiaofan heard Pei Yan was going to start a livestream, he immediately hugged his thighs and said, "Captain! Can you help me rank up? I was duo-queuing with Brother Zhao this afternoon, and he was like crazy, helping me get five stars in one swoop!"
Pei Yan glanced at Qiao Ran, who was already packing up his things, and asked, "Let's play in a row of three. Let's play for a while?"
Qiao Ran stopped what he was doing and pointed at himself: "Me?"
"Is there someone else on my left?"
Qiao Ran turned her head and saw that Sun Kai, who was originally next to her, had moved to Zhao Jie's side at some point and was discussing the takeaway with him.
Pei Yan was looking in the direction where she was, and indeed she was the only one there.
"Okay, let's play two rounds." Qiao Ran also felt that the training just now was not satisfying enough.
Pei Yan connected to the live broadcast equipment and adjusted the camera.
Ye Xiaofan took the opportunity to sit in Sun Kai's original seat, next to Qiao Ran.
Pei Yan glanced at Ye Xiaofan and said, "Didn't you ask me to help you improve your score? Why are you sitting so far away?"
Zhao Jie, who was originally struggling with what to eat for midnight snack, secretly looked up and couldn't help laughing.
Ye Xiaofan was completely unaware: "Captain, I can hear you talking, it's not a bother."
Pei Yan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then you might as well let Qiao Ran help you gain points."
"Me? I can't do it." Qiao Ran certainly didn't think he couldn't carry the team. "If the support gets more kills than the mage, I'll be scolded. I've been scolded enough in the past two days."
Ye Xiaofan didn't expect that Qiao Ran, who had always been quiet, had actually learned YYGQ: "Sister Qiao Qiao, you have changed!"
Sun Kai couldn't bear to watch any longer and adjusted his glasses. "Xiao Fan, just sit back down, or just play solo and gain points. You're really bright right now, you know that?"
"Bright? What's so bright about me?" Ye Xiaofan scratched his head in confusion.
The author has something to say:
Pei Yan: You look so bright!
Ye Xiaofan: Do I have one? Is it wrong for me to want to be intimate with the goddess?
