Why is it exactly the same as Zhu Ruijie’s ID prefix? Could it be him using a smurf account to pick on her? But this doesn’t look like a smurf account either. She clicked into Chen Du’s Weibo and saw his personal bio: YFD captain of the Honor of Kings KPL champion team, Chen Du
Ye Xian: "???" A KPL champion team captain looking for her? Could it be that she became famous from just one game?
Ye Xian clicked back and saw the message Chen Du sent: Hello Ye Xian, I’m Chen Du, the captain of the YFD team. I have something to discuss with you. Can we add each other on WeChat? My WeChat ID: xxxxxxxx
Ye Xian: "..." These two lines look suspiciously like a scammer trying to add people on WeChat to sell tea.
With nothing better to do, she went ahead and added him on WeChat.
As soon as the request was accepted, Chen Du sent a greeting.
[Xianxian]: Just speak plainly if you have something to say.
Yang Baimu: "He sure is straightforward."
Wen Lan: "The time of a star is indeed precious."
Chen Du repeated the situation of the YFD team and their current predicament, expressing his desire to invite her to join the team as an AD.
Ye Xian found it a bit laughable. Hah, join the YFD team for training and then play in the KPL in a month? What a joke... wait, she did have plenty of time right now!
With the proliferation of 4G networks, live streaming and various gaming apps quickly rose to prominence, igniting an esports craze in the country. It was around that time that she started following the trend and playing games. On Weibo and some live-streaming apps, some legendary esports players had more fans than third- or fourth-tier celebrities—like Chen Du. This proved that esports also had a massive audience.
If she took advantage of this lull period to play games and also drew in esports fans to maintain and solidify her popularity, wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?
Tsk, tsk, just when one feels trapped and all doors seem closed, a new path suddenly reveals itself.
This time at the KPL, she was determined to achieve great results and to show that despicable and unscrupulous boss that even without Star Entertainment, she would still shine bright and have a dazzling future!
Chen Du waited a long time for Ye Xian’s response and was worried she might reject the offer, so he hurried to retain her.
[Chen Du]: If there are any questions or demands, please express them. We will do our utmost to meet your needs!
[Xianxian]: How much is the prize money for the KPL? Is there a salary for training at your camp for a month? Also, send me the background of your training camp’s boss and the company operating behind the scenes.
Ye Xian hadn’t initially intended to ask the last question, but after her experience with Star Entertainment, she knew all too well the importance of the boss’s character. Hence, she had to know all the details. With a reliable boss, she could rest assured and go there.
Since she’s asking about the compensation, it looks like she’s agreed!
Chen Du smiled and answered her questions one by one. When he got to the last one, he was thinking of sending her information about the Bo Consortium right away, convinced that after seeing such a large and powerful group, she would agree without a second thought—especially since, to his knowledge, she was an artist under Star Entertainment, and they would be like family.
But then he remembered that the Bo Consortium did not allow them to disclose that their operations were backed by the Bo Consortium because in recent years, the Bo Consortium had almost monopolized all high-end luxury brands and the entertainment industry. If others found out that even the champion team’s sponsor was the Bo Consortium, it would cause an adverse reaction.
Monopoly, after all, is an unpleasant word to the public.
Chen Du then sent her the information about the company they had officially registered.
The prize was 300,000 Yuan; the training camp’s salary was 8,000 Yuan. Added up, that was just enough to cover her rent for a month... Ye Xian’s eyelids twitched, but she continued reading. Thankfully, the company was green, healthy, and caring.
[Chen Du]: How are you considering it?
[Xianxian]: OK, when do we start training?
