My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 150 On the Eve of the Competition

Two days later.

When Luo Ji met his secretary again, Lu Xuanxuan had already changed her outfit once more.

She was still dressed in a simple outfit.

The combination of a white T-shirt and denim shorts is always in style. The legs under the shorts are long and straight, not the kind of skinny stick legs, but rather legs that are noticeably fleshy.

Only once.

Lu Xuanxuan was carefully observing Luo Ji's eyes, and only when she saw a hint of satisfaction flash in his eyes did she feel overjoyed.

Her efforts in getting up early to dress up were worthwhile.

She even researched the location of the V5 club. In Guangdong province, people usually don't dress so formally when going out to discuss business, as they might be mistaken for insurance salespeople. She was initially hesitant.

But for now.

Her attire was clearly impeccable.

Moreover.

Even setting aside the superior-subordinate relationship, just the fact that such a handsome young man is standing here is enough to make any passing girl pay close attention.

"Ready, little secretary?"

"Ready, little boss."

Lu Xuanxuan spoke sweetly.

She was originally an international student at the University of Macau, and after graduation she was going to return to the mainland to work. Right now, she had all the advantages, and because she had been away from home for a long time, she was even more looking forward to what would happen after she returned than Luo Ji.

"Okay, let's go then."

Luo Ji's schedule was very tight, mainly because after achieving results and signing a new contract, many things could be put into use simultaneously.

Seeing how ambitious their little boss was.

Lu Xuanxuan also secretly cheered herself on.

Two days' time.

She has figured out what it takes for a professional esports player to start a company, and once she is officially in place, she can immediately begin tackling the challenges.

No matter what.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very ugly.

When she finally started working following Luo Ji's steps, the series of tasks that exceeded her expectations completely widened her eyes.

All day long.

She even wondered if she had encountered aliens.

"Old Boss."

"what happened?"

"Boss, are you a famous professional League of Legends player?"

"Yes."

"You have an online QQ shop in cooperation with the factory?"

"Yes."

"Are you partnering with the club to open a youth training (internet addiction) school?"

"Yes."

How much more are you hiding from me?

"Oh, I'm also planning to sign some streamers that I personally think are promising and dabble in MCN agencies."

"???"

damned!
Before I came, I didn't know that a professional esports player like you would be involved in so many industries.

But all day long.

After negotiating the cooperation with offline factories with Luo Ji, and seeing the school cooperating with V5 Club starting construction in full swing, she had no choice but to believe it, no matter how much she didn't.

Even the qualifications of the new company.

Thanks to the incredible connections of the gambling king's son, everything went smoothly. At this moment, Lu Xuanxuan felt a mix of emotions. She had thought she had found a fantastic company, but it turned out they were still treating her like a beast of burden.

"boss"

Luo Ji interrupted him directly:
"As for the secretary, after thinking about it, a base salary of five thousand is indeed too little for you."

"Based on the fact that you will likely be frequently traveling between Shanghai and Guangdong, let's tentatively set the monthly salary at 15,000 yuan. Commissions will be calculated separately, and commuting expenses, meals, and accommodation expenses will all be reimbursed during this period."

"We're taking too big a step right now, and our cash flow is a bit tight. You'll have to bear with it for now. Once we expand further, I'll raise your income."

Listen.

The secretary grabbed Luo Ji's hand:

"Boss, you have a really good eye for people."

Place it in Shanghai.

A salary of 15,000 is neither high nor low.

But this is the mother's base salary!

It also includes all kinds of fees and subsidies.

If she hadn't known that Luo Ji wasn't just a professional gamer, she would have been afraid that the company's benefits would bankrupt him.

Reborn forever.

Luo Ji was well aware that he didn't have any business acumen, so he chose to play it safe and simply copy others' work.

He focused on his identity as an esports player.

The QQ industry is bound to make money. In later generations, all the major LOL content creators and virtual streamers were affected by the Holy Grail War, and almost no one could escape it.

Now that he has started the S12 Holy Grail War, it is only natural that he should be the one to "sink the Central Plains".

He ate the cake.

The Holy Grail is secondary; the key is to establish a reputation so that [Purple Mood] can be sold more easily.

You might not believe it if I told you.

In the QQ industry, female consumers spend far more than male consumers.

60% of the buyers of QQ products in China are women aged 25-35, and 60% of them are married women. This figure is increasing year by year.

Luo Ji was shocked when he first received this data.

Low costs, high average order value, and high sales volume—this isn't just making money; it's like picking money out of sacks.

The biggest challenge in scaling up is building brand awareness, but that's not a problem for him.

Needless to say, there's also the collaboration with the club.

It's called an internet addiction treatment school, but it's actually a fake youth training camp. They bring in students who are addicted to games and clamor to become professional gamers, and train them intensively according to the daily routine of professional players. With clubs backing them, this market is also very open.

In second-tier and above cities, there are almost always about ten internet addiction treatment schools.

The regular army enters the fray.

They simply cannot take over their own side.

As for MCN agencies, he was just playing around with them. Although the golden age had passed, he still spent a few years browsing Douyin before his time travel and knew which streamers would become popular later.

As for whether it can become as popular as it was in its previous life after coming under my command?

He didn't know. Anyway, the investment wasn't much; if it became popular, he'd make a fortune; if it didn't, he'd consider it a good deed. Signing an unknown streamer wouldn't cost much either.

Luo Ji spent almost the entire holiday running around with his secretary.

I'll go to the factory later to check out the products.

I'll go check out the site selection for the company later.

At the same time, relying on the connections of the V5 boss, they successfully recruited several top talents around 35 years old through the recommendation of headhunters.

What constitutes a top-tier bull or horse?

They can do a lot of things, but they're not good at anything. They can do the work of several people. When things are going well, you think it's okay to fire them, but after you fire them, you find that everything seems to be wrong.

For startups, these are the cream of the crop.

The problem is that if such people cannot be transferred to management positions later on, they are easily eliminated.

Because once a company grows, it can hire more people, but if they are not proficient in technology, they will not be competitive. When the economy is down, this is the first type of company that comes to mind when it comes to layoffs.

This is due to the spillover of human resources and the impact of the economic downturn.

Luo Ji recruited people effortlessly.

It wasn't until the end of the entire holiday that Luo Ji had to refocus and return to the professional arena.

"okay."

"Basically, after this week of tours, you'll know roughly what the next task will be. As for me, according to my professional biological clock, you can contact me during mealtimes and after midnight."

"Of course, if there are any special circumstances, you can call me directly or come to the club to find me."

Looking at his secretary, whose entire demeanor had been completely transformed, Luo Ji couldn't help but sigh:

Going to work is really ruining my life!

During the recruitment period.

There was still a light in the secretary's eyes.

But after more than a week, the light in her eyes had clearly dimmed considerably, and she exuded a faint air of being out of touch with reality.

really.

Working eight hours a day is still too harmful to your health.

How about we change it to a four-day work week and a three-day rest week once things have stabilized?

Luo Ji pondered to himself.

in front of you.

Having completely accepted her boss's extraordinary abilities and her own mediocre talents, Lu Xuanxuan blinked her big eyes and asked Luo Ji with a curious expression:
"Boss, if you have a match sometime, can I come and watch you play?"

"of course can."

Luo Ji responded matter-of-factly, and then continued:

"Just let me know when you're coming, and I'll get you tickets. Even though we make money from Riot Games' traffic, we can't let Riot Games take even a single penny from us. Do you understand what I mean?"

The secretary nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

After working together for over a week, it's impossible not to have a good impression of Luo Ji, a handsome and wealthy boss.

But it hasn't come to that point yet.

Moreover, Luo Ji is currently too focused on his career and is too calm. He has no lingering feelings for relationships, only a yearning for money and honor.

of course.

If you let him touch your legs, he will still reach out and touch them.

This made Lu Xuanxuan feel that while he was shining for his career, she also found his audacity inexplicable and even made her impression of Luo Ji more three-dimensional.

"Then, this is for you."

Upon learning that Luo Ji was returning to the club for rehabilitation training, the secretary, with a hint of reluctance on her face, still took out a gift she had prepared long ago from behind her back.

A pink pair of headphones.

Luo Ji carefully accepted the gift from her and examined it closely.

"A pair of headphones for macho men? To be honest, they're quite nice-looking."

"Right? It's so cute, isn't it? This color is so girly. When you use it, you'll definitely think of your poor little secretary. Do you like it?"

"Of course I do."

It was a gift that his secretary had secretly prepared, no matter what.

This intention.

He accepted it very solemnly.

"You also like girly things?" The secretary's eyes lit up, and a soft light seemed to flow in her eyes.

“No, that’s not it.” Unexpectedly, Luo Ji shook his head.

"I generally don't like girly things."

"what?"

"But I like young girls."

For an instant.

Luo Ji clearly saw a blank in the secretary's eyes, as if her brain had crashed.

Her mind was clearly a bit confused.

The feelings during student days are the purest and the easiest to deceive. Even though Lu Xuanxuan is already a senior in college, she is still a student.

Feeling lost.

She only felt her hands being held tightly.

Looked up.

Luo Ji stared directly into his eyes without flinching; the deep blackness of his eyes was as captivating as the night sky.

"While I'm away, I'll be handing the company over to you."

"Message or call me if you need anything, or even if you don't. My goal is to win the championship this year, and you also need to prove your growth to the school by the end of the year. Six months is enough time for us to improve together."

"besides."

"If you encounter any unexpected obstacles, remember to ask for help in time. Your boss just signed a contract with V5, so it would be a loss if I didn't bother them a little."

Lu Xuanxuan looked up.

Her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and her heart pounded even harder.

She knew his ambitions.

After more than a week of getting to know each other, they talked about many things. He wanted to do something in this world, such as leaving his name on the S-series trophy.

For this goal.

He would not consider dating before winning the championship, a view that Luo Ji has never hidden from anyone.

But the more this happens.

The more he attracted himself...
Like the serpent that tempted Eve with the sweetness of the fruit of knowledge, firmly grasping her desires, Lu Xuanxuan felt a delicate, mature, yet youthful charm in the face so close to hers.

What a strange guy.

Lu Xuanxuan thought to herself
