Chapter 25 Has he been possessed?
Lin Mo naturally wouldn't refuse Yu Shuang's offer.
"Of course, widow."
Lin Mo took out his phone and scanned the QR code that Yu Shuang handed him.
With a "ding," the friend request was successfully added.
Looking at Lin Mo's simple, solid-color profile picture on the screen, Yu Shuang said, "Then I won't disturb your celebration. Have a good rest tonight, and we'll talk later."
"Okay, see you later, widow." Lin Mo smiled and waved.
The factory manager's eyelids twitched as he watched the two of them chatting and laughing, oblivious to their surroundings.
Having been in the LPL for so many years, he is a living fossil in the esports circle. Everyone in the circle has to give him face and call him "Factory Director" or "7 Sauce".
But when it comes to girls, he always has the illusion that Lin Mo, this newcomer, is more popular than himself.
Seeing that Yu was about to turn and leave, the factory manager quickly cleared his throat and, mimicking Lin Mo's words, called out, "Um, Sister Yu, how about we go for a meal together?"
Upon hearing the factory manager's invitation, Yu Shuang turned her head.
The affectionate tone she had shown when addressing Lin Mo as "sister" and "brother" vanished instantly.
She shook her head and politely replied, "Thank you, Mingkai. But I need to go back to the studio later to coordinate with the director, so I won't join in. Have a great dinner with EDG tonight!"
"Besides," Yu added, "why do you call me 'sister' too? Let's be normal, okay?"
After saying this, Yu Shuang nodded to the two of them, then turned and gracefully left in her high heels.
Factory manager: ...
The factory manager stood bewildered in the wind, feeling as if an arrow had been thrown at his chest.
Heartbreaking...
Just now, when Yu Shuang was talking to Lin Mo, her voice was gentle and sweet.
Why does it become so bureaucratic when it comes to me?!
In terms of seniority, I've known you for several years!
In terms of results, I slaughtered Xiangguo like a pig today!
Is there any justice left in this world?!
The factory manager kept complaining in his mind.
Seeing the factory manager's deeply affected expression, Lin Mo patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't take it to heart. Auntie is probably just too busy. She's an official host, after all; you should understand."
The factory manager turned around and couldn't help but say, "You're quite the actor, aren't you? Calling her 'sister' to her face, but calling her 'auntie' behind her back. I used to think you were an honest guy!"
He rolled his eyes as he spoke, "I'm too lazy to argue with you, kid. Let's go back to the lounge!"
……
When the two returned to the rest room, the EDG team had already packed up their peripheral backpacks.
Coach Abu, beaming, said, "Is everything ready? The bus is already waiting at the back door!"
Abu waved his hand and led the crowd out of the venue in a grand procession.
Although it was already evening, a large number of EDG fans still gathered outside the venue.
As soon as the team members came out, the fans immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
"Clearlove is awesome! This is like stepping back into Season 5!!"
"Scout is so cool, that LeBlanc made me swoon!"
"Mo God! Mo God, look at me!! I'm your female fan!"
Lin Mo felt very gratified to hear that quite a few people in the fan group were calling his name.
However, besides female fans, some male viewers were less friendly, for example—
"Mo, can you tell me why you're so bad at this game?"
"Godmother, teach me! I want to be a slacker too!"
The loud, close-up sounds drew the attention of Abu and the factory manager to Lin Mo.
The factory director, in particular, looked at Lin Mo with pity.
There was a time when he scored 4396, just like Lin Mo. After the game, many viewers mocked him face-to-face. He still vividly remembers how painful that feeling was.
This was even though he was already used to being scolded.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, was just a newcomer.
His mental resilience might not be able to withstand it.
However, just as the factory manager was about to pull Lin Mo onto the bus and leave quickly, he noticed Lin Mo turn around, wave to everyone, and say with a big smile:
"Don't worry, everyone. Tonight I'll go live and teach you how to become a proper slacker, and pass on all my martial arts skills."
"But I can't just watch for free. Each of you big shots should send me a gift worth ten or twenty thousand."
"Oh, and it's free for female viewers!"
As soon as Lin Mo made this joke, bursts of laughter immediately erupted around him.
"Damn, buddy, you're shameless!"
"You, a professional player, are calling me 'boss,' how can I possibly insult you?!"
"I'm completely stumped. I had a whole bunch of things I'd prepared to say to attack him, what am I going to do now?"
"Mo God, I've been a fan of yours for ten years, let's add each other on WeChat!"
"..."
Lin Mo smirked: "A ten-year veteran fan, what reason do I have not to add you? Scan my QR code!"
A few seconds later, Lin Mo was surrounded by a crowd and mingled with the audience.
The rest of EDG were stunned when they saw this.
Originally, everyone was a little worried that the audience's comments might hurt Lin Mo's feelings, but this guy... how come he's become one with the audience?
The factory manager rubbed his forehead, unsure of what to say next.
He suddenly realized that Lin Mo's change was quite significant.
Previously, Lin Mo was shy and quiet, spending his days training hard to improve his score. He didn't talk much and wasn't popular with girls.
But today, not only did Yu ask for his WeChat, but he also used his humor and wit to effortlessly turn a group of viewers who had opinions about him into friends...
Could this guy have been possessed?
The factory manager thought for a moment, then nudged Abu with his elbow and said, "If we don't call him soon, he'll squeeze in front of those three pretty female fans!"
Upon hearing this, Abu thought to himself, "This is terrible!" and shouted, "Lin Mo, come back quickly! We don't have time!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo could only reluctantly say goodbye to everyone: "Alright, alright, everyone, I'm going to have a big meal now. See you in the live stream tonight."
As Lin Mo spoke, he struggled to squeeze out of the crowd.
He vaguely felt his face being kissed in the crowd, but he couldn't see who it was.
Hmm, hopefully it's not a man...
……
Two minutes later, the bus started and headed towards the Bund in Shanghai.
Lin Mo sat in the car, facing the interrogation of the factory manager and his men.
"Xiao Mo, why are you so cheerful today?"
"When did you become so good at taking things?"
"Where did you learn this?"
"How many beautiful women did you add on WeChat just now?"
"..."
For a moment, Lin Mo didn't know whose question to answer first.
Fortunately, Abu stepped in at the crucial moment.
"Alright," Abu stood up and gestured for everyone to stop teasing Xiao Mo. "He got his first win in his LPL debut today, so it's normal for him to be more outgoing, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lin Mo nodded repeatedly.
Abu smiled and continued, "I have some good news to share. The boss will be coming to the dinner later, and he might give you all a surprise."
