Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Chapter 854 Esports Plaza: LPL's Ambition

"Honestly, President Kim went out to make a phone call, how come he hasn't come back for so long?"

Inside the private room, Li Shuo and Xu Yunmei spent some time together, but then Li Shuo realized something was wrong: Jin Zhengzhi had been gone for too long.

Chen Dong chuckled and suggested, "How about we go out for a stroll? The media room in the South Korean esports building has always hosted esports competitions. Right now, there's a StarCraft League, and it's even the semifinals. The matches should be quite exciting."

"Okay... what about you?"

Li Shuo's eyes lit up, but considering his female companion's feelings, he turned to Xu Yunmei and asked, "You forgot, I can be a professional e-sports model!"

As they spoke, everyone stood up. But just as the three of them pushed open the door, they saw Jin Zhengzhi walking towards them with a voluptuous and sexy woman...

Jin Zhengzhi didn't see the three people. He turned his head to look at the beautiful woman beside him and solemnly instructed:
"...Song Shuer, right? Let me tell you, when you meet that chairman later, well, there are two men inside, but once you go in, you'll know which one to serve. Remember, you can't go against the chairman's wishes. He can do whatever he wants. If you think the money isn't enough, I can give you more!"

Song Shuer raised an eyebrow, about to say, "We're top-tier models, we don't do that kind of thing," when she noticed Xu Yunmei and her male companion appear in her line of sight. Behind them was a middle-aged man who was enthusiastically waving at Jin Zhengzhi and saying in broken Korean:

"Aigoo, no wonder you were gone for so long, President Kim, you went on a date with a beautiful girl... We can't wait for you, we're going to the media hall to watch the game. Go to the VIP box, it's empty right now..."

Song Shuer's heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized that she had been misunderstood. Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal, but this was in front of Xu Yunmei...

Fortunately, Jin Zhengzhi was even more anxious than her, and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, this lady is so beautiful, but she's not my girlfriend. She's a candidate spokesperson for this year's WCG. The president is very interested in WCG, so I wanted to bring her here to introduce her to the president, so that the president can take a look and have a feel for her..."

Hmm? Chairman? So, this is the distinguished guest Choi Ji-woo was talking about?

Song Shuer's gaze finally landed on Li Shuo, her expression a mixture of surprise and understanding:

She naturally knew that this was Xu Yunmei's boyfriend. She had previously thought that Xu Yunmei's boyfriend was quite handsome and had a great presence. Now she understood: no wonder he had such a presence, it turned out that he was no ordinary person.

At the same time, I was also surprised by Kim Jung-jik's attitude. In the eyes of ordinary South Koreans, Kim Jung-jik is the president of a large company that manages many e-sports projects. He is a very important figure in the e-sports circle!

Compared to the young and handsome Li Shuo, shouldn't it be the latter who fawns over the former?

"Huh, Yunmei, is this... a small order?"

Before Li Shuo could speak, Xu Yunmei looked surprised, grabbed Song Shuer, and pulled her to her side. This action made Song Shuer feel very embarrassed. She glanced at Li Shuo: Yunmei used industry jargon. He probably didn't understand anything, right?

"Xiao Shang Dan" was a term similar to "KTV hostess," which Li Shuo didn't understand. Of course, he didn't care too much about it. He just looked at Xu Yunmei and asked, "Do you want to come with me? Otherwise, why don't you go back to the private room first?"

He doesn't really like to bring girls along when he plays games, mainly because girls are generally not very skilled and bringing them along is always a burden. So, even now when he's watching a game, Li Shuo habitually leaves his female companion behind.

Xu Yunmei pouted. She naturally wanted to go with her boyfriend, but when she saw Song Shuer looking helpless, she knew that Song Shuer had been brought by Jin Zhengzhi to seduce men. So she nodded in agreement, then pulled Song Shuer along and went back to the private room.

Now, Jin Zhengzhi was in an awkward situation. Although he didn't care about offending Xu Yunmei, the girl he brought had been taken away. It was like getting nothing but trouble instead of getting the good stuff. It was really not worth it.

"Come on, President Kim, why don't you introduce today's match to our chairman..." Seeing this, Chen Dong took the initiative to step forward to help Kim Jung-chih out of the predicament. The latter also stepped forward and began to introduce the match to Li Shuo:

"Um, does the guild leader want to watch today's matches? Well, the four semi-finalists of the StarCraft League are currently in the lobby, and the players facing off are..."

While introducing the area, he led Li Shuo through the other side of the corridor to the core area of ​​the e-sports building: the e-sports plaza.

The e-sports plaza occupies a total of five floors, starting from the second floor of the building. In addition to the layers of media broadcasting booths (private boxes) on the side, there are three floors of open-air seating in the middle, as well as two large stages and four small stages.

If you look down at the e-sports plaza from above, you can see that it is divided into two large areas, left and right, with two small stages on each side of the two areas.

"...Looking down from above, we have a wide field of vision, so we can see all the ongoing esports events. At its peak, this esports plaza could host events for six different games at once. This year's WCG tournament, hosted by South Korea, is mainly held here..."

As Jin Zhengzhi explained, he led Li Shuo down from the 5th floor where the "Esports Conference" was located. However, as they walked, Li Shuo stopped and looked to the other side, asking, "This side is StarCraft competition, so what's on the other side? Is it Dota? Or League of Legends?"

Dota and League of Legends (LOL) are both currently the most popular MOBA esports titles. The former, based on the Warcraft 3 map, has been popular for several years, while LOL has only recently gained popularity, a rising star that shows great potential to surpass Dota. Kim Jung-ji glanced at the large screen and said with a smile, "It's the LOL South Korean League, a relatively new game..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Shuo interrupted, "Is it LPL? The English Professional League..."

Since he was going to get involved in esports, Li Shuo naturally had his sights set on the LPL. However, when he was in China, he asked Chen Dong, who replied that there was no league for LOL yet. The reason given was that its popularity and the players were still being developed, and there was no suitable environment for a league at the moment. The main reason was that there weren't enough professional players for LOL. Although many people played it, it was still a new game, and there weren't many professional clubs involved in this area.

There aren't even any professional players, let alone a professional league.

And now...

South Korea already has a professional League of Legends league? That's incredibly fast!

Li Shuo was startled for a moment, then decisively said, "Let's go watch the LOL league!"

"SKT1, fighting!!" "LOVEXT, good luck!"

As the three entered the arena, they were immediately affected by the enthusiastic atmosphere. Especially in this small league, there weren't many barriers set up. The players didn't even go inside the glass enclosure; the two teams were just playing outside like that. Some players didn't even have headphones on. Occasionally, when they heard cheers, the players would even raise their arms and wave in response...

"As expected of the nation of esports, the atmosphere here is truly extraordinary..."

Seeing the atmosphere at the scene, Li Shuo couldn't help but sigh. It wasn't that he was a Western worshipper, but rather that they were indeed very good at this. Of course, his initial purpose in coming to Korea was to bring back the e-sports advantages of this place. In his previous life, Wang Sicong and other second-generation leaders actually brought back a lot of things, paving the way for the rise of e-sports in China. Otherwise, the LPL wouldn't have become so popular in China.

With this in mind, Li Shuo focused even more intently on the match. In contrast, Chen Dong and Jin Zhengzhi, who were both in "management," couldn't bear to watch a real esports match. Even Chen Dong could only understand StarCraft...

However, seeing that Li Shuo was watching so intently, the two couldn't say anything more and could only grit their teeth and watch along. Li Shuo occasionally glanced at the two of them and waved his hand decisively, saying, "President Jin, you two do your thing. I'll watch the game for a while and then go back by myself..."

"Uh, okay, okay, then take your time looking... By the way, do you want me to help you with that model I brought?" Jin Zhengzhi didn't leave for a reason. He had spent a lot of money to invite Song Shuer over, so naturally he wanted to make the best use of her talents and send Song Shuer to Li Shuo's side.

Therefore, Li Shuo did not refuse, mainly because the target was Song Shu'er, who would be South Korea's number one female model for a long time to come, and she still had a lot of weight.

So he casually said, "Let's do it another day, when Yunmei isn't here. You saw it today too, the person you brought seems to know my girlfriend..."

"Okay, it was my mistake today."

Kim Jung-ji gave an awkward smile and finally got up to take his leave.

After he had completely left, Li Shuo called out to Chen Dong, "Friend, buy me some food. This Korean food is really hard to eat..."

"Okay, what do you want to eat? There are some fast food options nearby," Chen Dong replied with a smile.

"casual"

Li Shuo casually said "whatever," and soon saw Chen Dong return with two long, thick, steaming hot dogs!
"This is too big."

Li Shuo looked at the large hot dog, which resembled a baguette, and didn't refuse. He was genuinely hungry, so he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth with a "thump, thump"...

"Click" "Click"

The shutter clicked continuously, and soon, the photo of Li Shuo devouring a hot dog was captured!
As "Nam Gyu-ri's ex-boyfriend," "Han Hyo-joo's current boyfriend," "the enemy of the Three-Star Crown Princess," and "the chairman of an overseas conglomerate," Lee Seok's reputation in South Korea is actually quite prominent. However, he keeps a low profile and is always protected by Seok Gwa-an, so no one has been able to take his picture.

Now it's different. The e-sports plaza is also known as the e-sports media hall. The private boxes for various media outlets are in the back, and countless photographers and reporters are strolling around the hall. So, reporters noticed Li Shuo a long time ago and took a lot of photos. But this particular photo is the one that has attracted the attention of almost all the reporters!

The chairman of an overseas conglomerate was eating fast food at the game venue in order to keep up with the competition!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a huge hot topic!
Li Shuo was completely unaware of this, and after showing off for a while, he suddenly noticed a beautiful woman beside him: "Huh? It's you?" (End of Chapter)
