Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"Waiting for your news," Rita said matter-of-factly. "I know you guys didn't play well in today's practice match. I'm a little worried about you."

In the afternoon training match, they lost to a mid-to-lower-tier team, which exposed some problems. Although Lin Feng didn't say it, he was actually reviewing the game in his mind.

"It's okay, it's just a small problem. I found a solution." Lin Feng said softly, "Thank you."

"You're still saying thank you to me?" Rita made a face at the camera. "I praised you to the skies on the commentary stage. If you didn't play well, I would be so embarrassed. So, for the sake of my career, you have to work hard, Lin Feng!"

She used a joking tone to dispel the depression in his heart. Lin Feng couldn't help laughing: "Okay, for Teacher Rita's face, I will definitely work hard."

The two chatted about some harmless trivia until they felt sleepy and hung up the phone reluctantly. This plain but warm communication became the best charging station for Raymond Lam in his high-intensity career.

----

A week later, at the LPL venue, the match between RNG and the veteran powerhouse JDG is about to begin.

In the luxurious VIP box on the second floor of the venue, a woman with a cool temperament was sitting upright, which was out of tune with the fanatical e-sports atmosphere around her.

She was wearing a well-tailored white suit, with her long hair neatly tied behind her head, revealing her smooth forehead and delicate features. She was not watching the game, but looking at the information on the tablet in her hand, her eyes sharp and focused.

Her name is Su Wanqing, the youngest CEO of the top domestic technology giant "Xingyao Group". She came here today not because of her interest in e-sports, but for a business investigation.

"Mr. Su," the assistant beside him said respectfully, "According to the report of the marketing department, the e-sports field is the most important growth point for the brand's rejuvenation strategy in the next few years. And the League of Legends LPL League is currently the peak of traffic."

Su Wanqing nodded slightly, moving her eyes away from the information and looking at the players' seats below. Her sight swept across the young and focused faces, and finally stopped at the calmest figure in the RNG team.

"RNG.LinFeng," she whispered the ID. On the tablet was Lin Feng's personal information. "Spring season champion, MSI champion, double FMVP, undefeated in the summer season so far, leading by a huge margin in personal data... His resume is perfect."

"Yes, Mr. Su. He is currently the most commercially valuable player in LPL. He has a positive image, top-notch skills, and almost no negative news." The assistant added.

Su Wanqing raised her lips in an imperceptible arc: "A perfect resume is not everything. What I want to see is his decision-making ability under pressure, and... whether he has the kind of 'winning' temperament that can represent our 'Xingyao' brand."

As if in response to her scrutiny, the deciding match began.

JDG targeted Lin Feng, banned Shen and Lucian, and snatched Crocodile.

And Lin Feng, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, locked in a hero that made the entire audience exclaim - the unrivaled swordsman, Fiona!
"Fiora! Facing JDG's powerful top and jungle, Fengzi actually used Fiora!" Miller in the commentary booth said excitedly, "This is a life-and-death battle based on skill!"

In the VIP box, Su Wanqing raised her eyebrows with interest. She didn't understand the game, but she understood the game of strategy. When the opponent showed a heavy punch, she chose to respond with a sharper blade. She admired this courage.

In the early stages of the game, JDG really went crazy against the top lane. Kanavi's Volibear frequently visited the top lane, and together with Zoom's Crocodile, they tried to nip Lin Feng in the bud.

However, Lin Feng's Swordswoman danced gracefully in the midst of swords and sabers like a top swordsman. He used the flexibility of his Q skill and the blocking of his W "Laurent Heart Blade" to resolve crises time and time again, and even killed the impulsive crocodile in a two-on-one situation.

But what really made Su Wanqing's eyes light up was the 25th minute of the game.

At that time, the two sides were facing off in the middle lane, and the situation was deadlocked. Lin Feng's Sword Princess was solo in the bottom lane, pinning down JDG's defense.

Suddenly, JDG seized the opportunity of RNG's auxiliary's positioning error and decisively started a team fight! A 5V4 melee broke out in the middle lane, and RNG was in danger!

Everyone thought RNG was going to be defeated.

At this moment, Lin Feng made a decision that no one expected.

He did not choose to TP back to the middle lane to support the team fight that was almost certain to be lost.

He used TP, but the landing point was JDG's empty top lane high ground!

"What? Brother Fengzi doesn't support him, so he wants to steal the house?" Wawa exclaimed.

Two battlefields formed on the screen. In the middle lane, RNG's teammates were defeated and chased by JDG. In the bottom lane, Lin Feng's Sword Princess was hitting the JDG base crystal with one sword after another!
Everyone in JDG hurried back to the city, but it was too late!

Lin Feng calmly calculated the damage, and at the last second when the JDG players returned to the city, he used a basic attack to smash the opponent's base main crystal!

"Victory!"

With all four of his teammates killed, Lin Feng successfully stole the ball on his own and won the game!

The whole place was excited!

In the VIP box, the assistant stood up excitedly: "We won! This is incredible!"

Su Wanqing did not move. Her eyes were fixed on the figure on the big screen who calmly took off his headphones. There was no ecstasy on his face, only the calmness after completing the task.

That's not gambling, that's calculation.

He instantly determined the chances of winning a teamfight and chose a plan with a higher chance of success and a greater risk. He not only believed in his own operations, but also in his ability to judge the overall situation.

This calmness, decisiveness, and obsessive pursuit of victory perfectly fits the corporate spirit of "Xingyao Group".

"It's him." Su Wanqing said softly, her eyes filled with a determined look.

She closed the tablet and gave instructions to her assistant: "Contact RNG's club management. As the CEO of Xingyao Group, I want to personally negotiate an endorsement contract with this player Lin Feng. The highest standard endorsement contract."

The post-match noise gradually subsided, and the RNG players returned to the base with the joy of victory.

"Brother Fengzi, your last wave of stealing the base was so cunning! My heart almost jumped out of my chest!" Xiaohu was replaying the game video while marveling at it. "It was just luck. If one of them had come back earlier, I would have been dead." Lin Feng said modestly, but the confidence in his eyes could not be hidden. At the moment when Fiora stole the base, he had already calculated countless possibilities in his mind, and finally chose the path with the highest chance of winning.

Coach Heart highly praised Lin Feng's decision when reviewing the game: "This is the value of a top player. Not only can he overwhelm his opponent in terms of operation, but he can also make the most correct decision with the calmest mind at the critical moment. Lin Feng, you taught the whole team a lesson today."

Lin Feng smiled and said nothing more. For him, victory was the best reward.

The next day, RNG's manager Abu found Lin Feng with a strange expression.

"Lin Feng, I have something to tell you." Abu's tone was both excited and a little unbelievable. "You know Xingyao Group, right?"

Lin Feng nodded. Xingyao Group is a giant in the domestic technology field. Its products are used in every aspect of life. With a market value of one trillion, it is a true business empire.

"Their CEO, Su Wanqing, has personally asked to meet you to discuss a personal endorsement contract." Abu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "It's the highest standard S+ level contract! It's unprecedented in the e-sports circle!"

Lin Feng was also stunned. Although he knew that he was now somewhat famous and his commercial value was increasing, he had never expected that he would alarm a behemoth like Xingyao Group, and the CEO himself would show up.

"Why me?" Lin Feng asked the question in his mind.

"It is said that President Su personally attended the match between you and JDG yesterday and was very impressed with your decision to steal the home base at the end." Abu's eyes were full of admiration. "She said that she saw the temperament of 'winning' in you. We will discuss the details after you meet in person."

The sudden invitation to meet Olive M caught Raymond off guard. He subconsciously thought of Rita, and he wanted to share this with her first.

In the evening, it was still time for a video call. When Raymond Lam told Rita about this, Rita on the other side of the screen first widened her eyes in surprise, and then burst into genuine joy.

"Oh my god! Xingyao Group! Lin Feng, you are so amazing!" Rita waved her fist excitedly, "I knew that gold will always shine! You deserve the best!"

Seeing that she was happier than himself, Lin Feng felt warm in his heart.

"But..." Rita changed the subject, her expression becoming a little cunning, "I've heard of President Su. She's a typical beautiful CEO. She's in charge of a business empire at a young age. She's both capable and pretty. When you meet her, you have to control yourself and don't be seduced by her beauty!"

Raymond Lam was amused by her cute look of "checking on him": "Don't worry, I only have eyes for you and the championship trophy."

A simple love word instantly made Rita's cheeks blush and her heart felt as sweet as if it were filled with honey.

A few days later, accompanied by the management of the RNG club, Lin Feng met Su Wanqing at a top private club in Shanghai.

When Lin Feng first saw Su Wanqing, he couldn't help but admire her in his heart. The woman in front of him was indeed as the legend said, beautiful, capable, and exuding a strong aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time. She didn't wear heavy makeup, and a simple professional suit, but it could highlight her temperament better than any fancy clothes.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Feng, I am Su Wanqing." Su Wanqing took the initiative to extend her hand, her voice was cold and pleasant, with a hint of unquestionable strength.

"Hello, President Su." Lin Feng shook hands with her, neither humble nor arrogant. Long-term experience in the arena allowed him to remain calm in any big scene.

Su Wanqing's eyes flashed with approval. The young man in front of her did not show any shyness or flattery because of her identity and appearance. This calmness was beyond his age.

After a brief greeting, Su Wanqing got straight to the point.

"Mr. Lin, my time is precious, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​She pushed a contract in front of Lin Feng, "Xingyao Group would like to invite you to become the global spokesperson for our 'Xingyao' mobile phone brand. This is the first draft of the contract, you can take a look first."

Abu took the contract and took a look at it, his hands trembling slightly. The numbers and terms on it were so generous that they were jaw-dropping, far exceeding all the existing endorsement contracts in the e-sports circle.

Su Wanqing's eyes stayed on Lin Feng, as if examining a precious work of art: "I have watched all your game videos, including those when you were in the secondary league. Your operation is top-notch, but there is no shortage of mechanics in the LPL. What really impressed me was your persistence in winning, and your calmness and decisiveness in finding opportunities for victory in desperate situations. This is highly consistent with our Xingyao's brand spirit of 'pursuing perfection and never giving up'."

She paused and continued, "This contract is just the beginning. I want more than just a spokesperson. I hope that through you, the brand image of Xingyao Group will be deeply associated with words like 'victory', 'top', and 'legend'. What I'm investing in is your infinite future possibilities."

These words have far exceeded the scope of a commercial endorsement and are more like an "investment declaration" from the queen of business.

Lin Feng was silent for a moment. He could feel the sincerity and ambition in Su Wanqing's words. But he was not overwhelmed by the huge benefits.

"Mr. Su, thank you for your recognition." He said calmly, "It is my honor to cooperate with Xingyao Group. But for me, the most important identity at the moment is still RNG's professional player. All my energy will be invested in training and competitions first, and I have only one goal - to win the S League championship."

"I understand." Su Wanqing nodded, as if she was not surprised by his answer. "This is also the reason why I chose you. A player who is dazzled by commercial activities will soon lose his value. What we at Xingyao want is you who constantly creates miracles on the field. The terms of the contract will fully respect your training and competition time. We just need you to show your championship style at the right time."

The meeting was very successful. Su Wanqing's courage and foresight, and Lin Feng's calmness and focus, made both parties full of confidence in future cooperation.

The news was soon announced through official channels: RNG.LinFeng officially became the global spokesperson for Xingyao mobile phone.

This piece of news was like a bombshell, exploding in both the e-sports and business circles! Countless people were shocked, and Lin Feng's personal reputation and commercial value soared to an unprecedented height overnight.

However, with great honor comes new challenges.

Amid the praise from the outside world, some doubts and concerns began to appear.

"With such a high endorsement fee, can Raymond Lam still concentrate on playing the game?"

"Don't be another genius who is praised by capital and becomes lost in the crowd."

"The female president came forward in person. Is there any story behind this?"

The rumors on the Internet and the overwhelming attention have created an invisible pressure.

RNG's next opponent is EDG, which they defeated in the spring finals. This veteran team is very resilient, and its core players Scout and Viper are in good shape. They are eager to take revenge on the new king who is in the limelight.

On the court, EDG's tactical intention was extremely clear - it was targeting Lin Feng!
Jungler JieJie's rhythm was completely centered around the top lane, and Scout also frequently roamed around. They seemed to want to prove to everyone that the "LPL's No. 1 top laner" who was deified by capital was not invincible. (End of this chapter)
