Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 429: Change of Thinking
Zhou Xing'er had just arrived at the company to work at this moment. Although it was not yet time for her live broadcast, Zhou Xing'er also took the "million bonus" initiative initiated by Zhou Dongsheng with great enthusiasm and seriousness.
Zhou Xing'er started playing professionally at the age of 17, and her original intention of becoming a professional player was very pure. Unlike other players who talked about pursuing their dreams and other high-sounding words, Zhou Xing'er was just doing it for money from beginning to end.
Ever since she won the championship for the first time and received a prize of tens of thousands of dollars, Zhou Xing'er has loved the joy of relying on her own strength to fight for the championship and winning the competition not only brings honor but also generous prize money.
In Zhou Xing'er's view, being a professional player means making money, which is why she switched from the game Cross Fire to League of Legends.
After all... the latter can make more money playing professionally, especially the club treatment is better than the former. However, the good times did not last long, and the so-called development of women's e-sports was just a flash in the pan.
If she wants to compete with other internet-addicted teenagers, Zhou Xing'er's competitive talent in the game League of Legends alone is far behind. After all, she has not even reached the threshold of the king.
Compared to moba games, Zhou Xing'er feels that he is better at shooting games.
However, shooting games have even more stringent requirements on talent, even far exceeding MOBA games, so even if Zhou Xing'er wants to return to his old job, he is powerless.
After all, as a veteran born in 1992 and a female player, even if there is interest in her, I'm afraid it will be too late. No club will want her except to create hype.
This also made Zhou Xing'er extremely grateful to her boss Zhou Dongsheng in her heart. If he hadn't given her a way out, she would probably have had no way out after leaving the OMG women's team.
After all, e-sports is a young profession and if one fails to make a name for himself within a few years, his career is basically sentenced to death. Examples of late bloomers and those who have accumulated a lot of experience over time are even rarer than phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the e-sports industry, which has only just begun to develop.
Therefore, Zhou Xing'er naturally cherishes the opportunity to join Xiaorenwu Media. In addition to doing live broadcasts, she also actively responded to the boss Zhou Dongsheng's initiative to make short videos.
Even if you can't do something like pocketing a million in cash, it's good to be able to make your presence felt in front of your boss.
After all, Zhou Xing'er has not forgotten the promise her boss made to her, that he would give her the opportunity to step onto the e-sports stage again...
So these days, Zhou Xing'er has been actively active within the company, asking Yang Fei for advice on video editing while working hard on her own muse short video account.
Relying on her sweet and lovely looks and experience related to e-sports, she has accumulated thousands of fans on the muse short video platform, and it is just a matter of time before her number exceeds 10,000.
However , this development is nothing compared to Zhou Shuyi, who joined Xiaorenren Media at the same time.
Seeing Zhou Shuyi's career flourishing, Zhou Xing'er couldn't help but wonder if her boss had forgotten about her. People in the company all said that anyone who was valued by the boss and signed a contract would become famous without exception.
Could it be that I would be the exception?
Unexpectedly, today, the boss's beautiful assistant walked with elegant steps, twisted her body and found Zhou Xing'er, smiled slightly, revealing her deep and charming dimples, and said, "Zhou Xing'er, the boss wants to see you."
Looking at the mature and charming Li Jiana, Zhou Xing'er felt like she was drooling a little, but when she heard that it was the boss looking for her, she couldn't help but shudder.
"Boss, you finally remembered me? No, I mean..." Zhou Xing'er was a little excited and spoke without restraint.
As soon as he said this, he felt that there was some ambiguity in his words and couldn't help but explain it in a panic. His flustered look was really laughable.
Li Jiana didn't think much about this, but smiled meaningfully, "Don't be nervous, the boss is easy to get along with, let's go, don't make the boss wait anxiously."
"Okay, right away. I'm going to the bathroom!" Zhou Xing'er took a deep breath and calmed herself down, but she still had the habit of wanting to go to the bathroom when she was nervous.
While going to the bathroom, Zhou Xing'er tidied herself up a little in front of the mirror, and then followed Li Jiana to the boss's office.
Although it was not her first time here, Zhou Xing'er still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Boss, Zhou Xing'er is here." Li Jiana knocked on the door and reported to Zhou Dongsheng. At the same time, after welcoming the person in, she closed the door considerately, and she handled the distinction between public and private affairs very well.
After all, Li Jiana never thought that she could lock Zhou Dongsheng down with her appearance alone. After all, no matter the industry he was in or Zhou Dongsheng's position, he was destined to come into contact with thousands of people with excellent looks.
Appearance is just the foundation; what really determines how far you can go is your means!
At least, as far as Li Jiana knew, she was the only woman who had met the parents and even "visited the house", although only as an assistant...
Zhou Dongsheng didn't think too much about it. Seeing Zhou Xing'er coming, he was particularly enthusiastic and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, you are here. Please sit down. I don't have anything to ask you to come. I just want to drink tea and chat and learn about the progress of work..."
Although PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds had a bad start, Zhou Dongsheng also realized that he relied solely on gimmicks and publicity while ignoring the influence of objective factors. His idea of wanting to sit back and relax was indeed a bit hasty.
However, after abandoning his fantasy and preparing for a protracted war, Zhou Dongsheng wanted to work hard on operations. Naturally, he thought of this chess piece he had prepared for a long time.
Although compared with Wei Shen's influence on the "PUBG" league, Zhou Xing'er is more or less lacking.
But even after experiencing the tragic defeat in S5, Wei Shen was not worthless. He had to go through injuries, loss of starting lineups and other successive impacts before the LGD club put him into the cold palace.
What's more, since nothing has been decided yet, it is most appropriate to test the waters with Zhou Xing'er first.
Faced with the boss's approachable and enthusiastic attitude, Zhou Xing'er also felt a little more at ease. When it comes to work, Zhou Xing'er can't help but say conscientiously: "Boss, in addition to live broadcasting, I have been training hard to keep in shape. I haven't forgotten what you said..."
"I haven't fallen behind in making muse short videos, but I still don't have enough fans..."
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand nonchalantly. "Hey, these are just small matters. I remember that you started out playing in the CF Hundred Cities League. Compared to the game League of Legends, you should be more familiar with shooting games."
Zhou Dongsheng vaguely remembered that if he had not intercepted it in advance, Zhou Xing'er would not have retired after a period of silence, and would have soon joined another shooting game to return to his old job and continue his professional career.
And that game is Overwatch, which will be released next year. It is an excellent work that intends to revive the glory of Blizzard. Unexpectedly, it has become Blizzard's last glory.
Speaking of which, Zhou Dongsheng feels that the future masterpiece of Zhuchang, Naraka: Bladepoint, is like absorbing the essence of the two games, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Overwatch, and then putting on the shell of his most proficient martial arts content to create an excellent work!
It is easy to say that we should stand on the shoulders of giants, but that is also because the pig factory itself has strong independent research and development capabilities, otherwise it would not be able to stand on the shoulders of giants.
What's more, he is a giant.
