You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 55 Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things? [Happy Lunar New Year's Eve to all readers!]

IG team base.

Manager's office.

Wang Sicong sat in the seat usually reserved for the manager, while IG manager Su Xiaoluo stood to the side of Wang Sicong with a hint of flattery on her face.

"Hey, have you seen that top laner's tutorial video?" Wang Sicong asked.

"I have seen it, after all, the top laner was quite popular a couple of times recently!" Su Xiaoluo quickly replied.

"What do you think of his skill level?" Wang Sicong asked again.

"That's pretty impressive. You couldn't have reached number one on the Korean server if you weren't! But what I'm most curious about is his creativity. How does this guy come up with so many outrageous ideas!"

Su Xiaoluo spoke eloquently.

As he spoke, he sensed something was amiss and quickly said, "Um... Principal, you're not thinking of buying him, are you?"

"He seems to be just a passerby, right?" Wang Sicong replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Yes, but..."

Before Su Xiaoluo could finish speaking, Wang Sicong interrupted her, "Since he doesn't have a team, why can't I buy one?"

“But our current starting top laner is Duke, last year’s world champion top laner. And when the summer split comes, TheShy will also be old enough to play. At that time, IG will have two good top laners, so we won’t lack top laners at all!” Su Xiaolu finished speaking in one breath after being interrupted.

After hearing Su Xiaoluo's long speech, Wang Sicong glanced at him sideways and asked, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"No, no, how could I dare, Principal!" Su Xiaoluo quickly said, her face beaming with joy.

"That's pretty much it!"

As he spoke, Wang Sicong turned halfway around, placed his right leg on his left knee, leaned back, and crossed his legs.

He then coughed again, cleared his throat, and said leisurely, "Let me tell you, when you see a promising talent, you have to make a move, understand?"

Su Xiaoluo nodded quickly.

"This top laner is just a complete random player who has never played professionally. He doesn't need a transfer fee, just a salary. How much money could he cost?"

“If we bring in a player with both talent and a following, even if he doesn’t perform well, we can still sell him to another club without losing money.”

"If we win, wouldn't that be a huge profit?"

"Do you understand?"

As Wang Sicong spoke, Su Xiaoluo nodded vigorously.

Wang Sicong said something, and Su Xiaoluo nodded.

Finally, Wang Sicong waved his hand and said, "Go contact the top laner and get this done!"

"Okay!" Su Xiaoluo agreed and prepared to use her connections to contact the top laner.

Just as she turned around, Su Xiaoluo turned around again.

Wang Sicong glared at her, as if asking a question.

Su Xiaoluo quickly said, "Um, Principal, what kind of contract are we planning to offer the top laner? We need to have a specific amount!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Sicong thought for a moment and then said, "I'll give you a quota of three million a year. We're not that stingy, are we? If he asks for more than three million, then there's no need to negotiate. Our IG really doesn't lack a top laner!"

"Go and negotiate first. Once you've reached an agreement, just come back to me for the money!"

"Okay!" Su Xiaoluo nodded and turned to leave her office.

As soon as Su Xiaoluo left the office, her eyes started darting around.

Clearly, there are some thoughts that cannot be openly expressed.

"Hehe, Principal, you're really rich and powerful! You can offer three million for a random passerby!"

"But Su Xiaoluo believes that there is no random top laner in this world who has never played professionally and is worth three million a year!"

Su Xiaoluo returned to the training room, came up behind JackeyLove, and patted JackeyLove on the shoulder.

Seeing JackeyLove turn around, Su Xiaoluo immediately said, "Wenbo, can you do me a favor?"

Inside the rental house.

On the computer screen in front of Zhou Dian, [TopKing] was in the queue in the Korean server client.

[TopKing] After reaching the top rank in the Korean server, I queued for my first game and it's been almost half an hour, and I still haven't gotten in.

It's a bit difficult to hold!

Zhou Dian immediately closed the queue and started queuing again.

While waiting again, Zhou Dian picked up his phone, opened D station, and clicked on the post that [Top Laner Ancestor] had just posted not long ago.

This post was published not long ago, but it already has quite a few replies.

[Holy crap, the old master has reached the top of the Korean server! That's awesome!]

[Ahhh, the ancestor is awesome!!! (Voice cracks!)]

[A 90% win rate topping the Korean server, who else can compare?] [I watched the game where Lao Zu reached the top in JackeyLove's stream, no explanation needed, Lao Zu's Fiora is just strong, invincible strong!]

[I never imagined that the old master who follows Darius tutorial videos would reach the top of the Korean server, and that this day would come so quickly!]

Wow, that's amazing! I think you should go pro!

[No need to think about it, given the old master's skill level, professional teams must have contacted him, but they probably couldn't reach an agreement!]

I don't care about being a professional or not, I just want to know, when the hell are you going to update? It's been over ten days since you last posted a new video!

[Having not released any new videos for so many days, I guess they haven't gotten any good footage!]

Is being number one in the Korean server not enough for him to gather material? If that's the case, he'll have to go to the LPL to gather material!

[This would be great! I look forward to that day!]

【.】

Looking at the comments section, Zhou Dian couldn't help but smile.

These are all his true fans!
Fans have higher expectations for him, so being number one in the Korean server cannot be his final goal.

He needs to keep going!
At this moment, a private chat box popped up in the lower left corner of the Korean server client.

It was sent by [JackeyLov3].

Zhou Dian had added JackeyLove as a friend a long time ago.

However, the two were not familiar with each other, and this was the first time they had a private chat after adding each other as game friends.

Upon clicking, he discovered that JackeyLove was actually asking for his contact information.

Could it be that.
Is IG interested in me?
During this period, IG's CEO, Wang Sicong, was quite willing to spend money, and could be described as having deep pockets.

Furthermore, IG's management is quite relaxed.

Isn't this exactly what Zhou Dian wanted?
Zhou Dian quickly sent his WeChat ID.

Soon, a friend request came in on WeChat.

The verification message is: "I am Su Xiaoluo, the manager of IG".

really!

IG wants to bring them in.

After Zhou Dian accepted Su Xiaoluo's friend request, Su Xiaoluo first verified the authenticity of her identity for Zhou Dian, indicating that she was not a liar or anything like that.

Then, the two made a phone call.

After a series of negotiations, no agreement was reached!
Su Xiaoluo initially offered him only 100,000 RMB a year, which Zhou Dian was definitely unwilling to accept.

Of course, everything discussed between the two was only verbal.

If the terms are agreed upon, Zhou Dian will still need to try out for IG.

A contract is only signed after the trial period is passed.

The two argued back and forth, with Su Xiaoluo sticking to her 150,000 yuan offer, saying she could only offer 150,000 yuan a year, and that she would have to sign a contract for at least two years.

“Brother, you’re a complete nobody with no professional experience. It’s a huge risk for IG to sign you. You need to know that many LPL top laners don’t even get this salary. The top lane position isn’t as valuable as you think!” Su Xiaoluo said calmly.

Zhou Dian frowned.

This Instagram isn't as wealthy as I thought!

His minimum acceptable price is two hundred per year.

One hundred and fifty per year is not unacceptable, but if it's one hundred and fifty, he will definitely only sign for one year, and it's impossible for him to sign for more than one year.

However, Su Xiaoluo remained adamant and refused to budge.

If we can't reach an agreement, then let's not talk about it anymore!
Business is all about mutual consent.

When Zhou Dian hung up the voice call, he noticed that Su Xiaoluo sounded a little annoyed.
Is it necessary to get angry?
IG doesn't lack top laners, so they don't need Zhou Dian at all!

Zhou Dian felt somewhat bewildered.

On the other side, at the IG base.

Manager's office.

Wang Sicong had already left the base.

He just came back from the New Year holiday today and stopped by the base for a quick look. He doesn't usually come here much.

With so many girlfriends to keep up with, how could he possibly have time to manage team affairs?

Su Xiaoluo hung up the WeChat call, opened a contact named "Principal" and sent a WeChat message to them.

[Principal, we couldn't reach an agreement. That top laner, Old Master B, is asking for an exorbitant price of 350 per year. No matter what I say, he won't budge!]

P.S.: Dear Yanzu and Yifei fans! Only one chapter today. I really haven't had time to write. I rushed to finish this chapter early this morning, thinking I could write another one tonight, but I just couldn't manage it. I'll definitely make up for the missing chapter later!
Then, I wish all my fellow book lovers a happy Lunar New Year's Eve and a prosperous Year of the Dragon. On this day of reunion, I wish you all good health, family happiness, and abundant wealth; to those brothers who are not home for the New Year and are still working hard away from home, I also wish you to achieve your personal goals soon!
