Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

When Lin Shu brought Gu Xinyue back to the base, it was already past ten o'clock at night. The two walked hand in hand from the parking lot to the office building, their shadows stretched long by the streetlights. The moon necklace around Gu Xinyue's neck shimmered under the lights. She subconsciously reached out and touched the pendant, a slight smile playing on her lips, but she didn't say anything.

"There's a meeting tomorrow." Lin Shu pushed open the office door and turned on the light. "You'll have to help me make arrangements."

"What do you mean?"

"I invited several well-known figures in the industry. Xiaocang, Miss, Xiaozhi, Xiaomo, Teacher Xu, as well as PDD, Ruofeng, Wuwukai, and Mingkai. For the commentators, Miller, Wawa, Su Xiaoyan, and Bella."

Gu Xinyue paused, turning her head to look at him: "Bella? The one from Qihuang?"

"Um."

"Tsk tsk, could it be that our CEO Lin is trying to take advantage of us or something?"

Gu Xinyue put her bag on the sofa, glanced at her B+ cup size without making a sound, and said in a slightly flat tone but with an obvious sarcastic tone, "Indeed, that female commentator's figure is exaggerated."

"Oh, are you jealous?"

Lin Shu said with a chuckle.

"Who's jealous? I was just saying it offhand." Gu Xinyue crossed her arms and turned her head to the other side.

"Don't overthink it... But you're right about her unique figure. Our show needs a regular commentator, someone memorable, which is more useful than just being good-looking."

Lin Shu sat down behind his desk, turned on his computer, and the light from the screen reflected on his face: "That's why I invited her. Her professional skills are excellent. Whether in Taiwan or our secondary league, she can control the game and manage the pace. With two partners to crack jokes on the side, she has the ability to bring the main storyline back on track."

"A good figure is a plus, but you can't get into the LPL commentary booth just by looking at your figure. Some people in the industry look down on her, or have other ideas, but that's their business. I look at her ability."

Gu Xinyue didn't say anything more, took out her notebook from her bag, and turned to a new page: "Okay, so how do you want to conduct tomorrow's meeting? Who from Huya and Tencent will represent them?"

"Huya sent Operations Director Lao Zhao. Lao Gu seems to be busy. Tencent Esports sent two people, one from the tournament team and one from the marketing department. I've sent you their names on WeChat."

Lin Shu leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples. "Tomorrow's meeting isn't just a formality. I want to pave the way all at once."

"Still calling me Old Gu?" Gu Xinyue teased.

"Ahem... Let's keep things separate. This is how we address each other at work; we'll talk about it in private."

Lin Shu blushed. He really couldn't call him "Old Gu" anymore. After all, they should talk about their own things, and now that he was his elder.

……

The next morning, in the conference room on the first floor of the HWG base.

A dozen or so people sat on either side of the long table. The meeting room wasn't large, but it was clean and tidy.

A projection screen hung on the white wall, mineral water bottles and several stacks of printed materials were on the table, and two cameras were set up in the corner—the recording team was filming, but today's meeting itself was not broadcast live to the public, but was only kept as recording material.

Ogura arrived first, wearing a beige knitted cardigan and with her hair in a ponytail, sitting near the door flipping through materials.

Miss sat next to her, and the two occasionally whispered a few words to each other.

Xiao Zhi was wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled low. He leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed and chewing gum.

Xiao Mo and Teacher Xu sat on the other side of the table. Teacher Xu was twirling a pen in her hand, while Xiao Mo was swiping on her phone.

"It seems our video production team is the most proactive."

Teacher Xu couldn't stay idle, so she started chatting with Xiao Mo next to her.

"Hmm, what do you think E-God wanted to talk to us about this time?"

Xiao Mo scratched his chin, thought for two seconds, and then shook his head. "I don't know, but Xiao Cang, Miss, and Xiao Zhi are all here, so it shouldn't be anything bad."

"Hehe~ Everyone in the industry knows that following E-God means you'll get rich."

Behind him, Xiao Zhi, wearing a baseball cap, chimed in. However, in reality, his tone of voice didn't carry the same smug vibe as it did in the video.

"I think it's related to 'Next Stop, Career!'"

From the row further ahead, Xiao Cang turned around and joined the conversation.

Miss nodded in agreement, "I feel the same way. In our industry, the popularity of this variety show is ridiculously high."

"This is outrageous not only within the entertainment industry, but also across the entire national variety show market."

"Yes, because of its exaggerated popularity, many people have been contacting me recently, wanting me to take the lead in creating a copy of Eason Chan's show."

"Following the trend? Copying? No, those capitalists are thinking way too simply. You really can't pull off the explosive traffic in 'Next Stop, Career!' without the right skills."

"However, there are indeed few similar meal replacements on the market right now, and even if the quality is lowered by a few levels, the audience can still accept it."

"If you put it that way, I can actually guess what E-God wanted to do by calling us here."

"what?"

"Just a reminder, we're all video creators..."

boom!

Just then, the door opened again.

"Oh, everyone's here."

PDD pushed the door open and entered.

He slumped down, the chair creaking, and grinned at the group before him. "Wow, this is quite a show of force. Is Boss Lin up to something again?"

Ruofeng followed in, wearing a white polo shirt and with his hair neatly combed. He nodded to everyone.

Wu Wukai and Mingkai followed behind, waving as a greeting.

On the commentary side, Miller and Wawa came in one after the other. As soon as Wawa entered, he greeted PDD familiarly: "Teacher Piao, you've lost weight recently." PDD rolled his eyes: "Which eye of yours saw that I've lost weight?"

Su Xiaoyan sat quietly in the corner and opened her notebook.

Bella was the last to come in.

There was a moment of silence in the conference room when she pushed open the door.

Bella wore a black turtleneck sweater with a camel coat over it. Her figure was clearly outlined by the sweater, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her makeup was light, but her features were striking. She stood there and was very eye-catching.

She looked around, her gaze lingering on Ogura and Miss for a moment, then nodded slightly in greeting before walking to the end of the long table, pulling out a chair, and sitting down.

PDD glanced at her sideways, then turned back, muttering something under his breath. Wu Wu Kai leaned over, about to ask, "What did you say?", but PDD waved him off.

Lin Shu was the last to enter.

He wasn't wearing a suit today; instead, he wore a dark gray HWG team jacket, zipped all the way up, looking casual yet still formal.

Gu Xinyue, accompanied by several official representatives, followed half a step behind him, holding a notebook and a pen, and sat down in the observation seat against the wall.
