After a while, a call came in from an unfamiliar number.
Qiao Lian picked up the call. “Hello, how can I help you?”
“Hello, Ms. Qiao. I’m looking for you to find out some information.”
Qiao Lian frowned. “What is it?”
“It’s about the professional team PC Team. Have you heard of them?”
After a pause, Qiao Lian answered, “Yes, I have.”
PC Team had been exceptionally popular in recent years.
Although she had not been gaming in recent years, she had been paying close attention to the competitive scene.
CQ Team had made it to the national grand final, hence, she had to understand the teams with strong players.
PC Team was considered peerless and had held the national champion title for a number of consecutive years.
Furthermore, when one spoke of the PC Team, one name was exceptionally famos: Prince.
Prince had fought his way up to become the individual national champion in the last few days.
The whole gaming world knew Prince.
He was like Zi Chuan of the past, or even more famed than Zi Chuan at that time.
Because he had taken part in the national competition, his image was similar to a celebrity’s.
For some time, he had already been known as Lot eSports’ current celebrity gamer.
Yet why was this big boss asking her these things?
The big boss continued, “Well, it’s . PC Team would like to invite you.”
Qiao Lian was surprised. “What?”
“Their team captain Prince saw your livestream and finds you acutely talented in gaming. Furthermore, you have a unique perspective. Hence, their fighting team has invited you to join them, to become their team coach.”
Qiao Lian was speechless.
So had she been talent-spotted?
Although being talent-spotted was a happy thing...
Qiao Lian said confidently, “I’m sorry, Sir, I’m not really interested in professional gaming competitions.”
She was already the coach of CQ Team.
How could she join PC Team?
If Zombie Leader found out, he would be livid.
There was no way she could lead CQ into the next phase now, so it was also out of the question for her to become the coach of their opponent team.
When the big boss of her livestream platform heard this, he started to get anxious. “Ms. Qiao, please reconsider. As a coach, you don’t have to spend much time guiding them. In terms of wages, we can negotiate.”
Qiao Lian smiled and said, “Thank you, but I’m really not interested.”
As she sounded adamant and left him no room to negotiate, the big boss sighed and replied, “Well then, I’ll convey your message to them in a bit.”
After hanging up, Qiao Lian sighed.
As usual, she delivered her livestream that night.
The night passed in silence.
The following day, after she woke up and checked her cell phone, she saw that she had a few missed calls.
Most of the calls had come in late at night.
Thinking that the calls were from a local number in Suzhou, she called back.
She wondered if they could be from her old-time friends in Suzhou.
Unexpectedly, after the phone rang for a long time, someone finally picked up the call. Following this, a croaky voice, as though the person had just woken up from his sleep, came through the line, “Hello?”
Qiao Lian cleared her throat and asked, “May I know whom I’m speaking with?”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank immediately as Prince continued, “Can we meet up and have a chat?”
