Li Hong never expected that the woman he encountered on the shuttle bus would be someone standing at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.
It didn’t make sense. A star of her caliber didn’t even have an assistant or entourage with her. It was late at night, and she was alone on the shuttle.
“Are you doubting my identity?” Lin Ruxian asked playfully when she noticed Li Hong’s silence.
Li Hong twitched his mouth but nodded, “Yes, I do doubt your identity. Besides, you don’t even have an assistant with you. How can I believe you? A star like you wouldn’t be without a car, right?”
“Come on, you’re a big boss too, yet here you are riding the shuttle with me,” Lin Ruxian countered. “If you can take it, why can’t I?”
Li Hong was momentarily speechless, unsure how to retort.
“Don’t think of me as so superficial. When I got off the plane, it was already late at night. At this hour, the company’s driver had long since gone to rest. I didn’t want to disturb them; otherwise, if I had a car waiting for me, why would I take the airport shuttle?” Lin Ruxian smiled.
Li Hong nodded; that explanation was acceptable.
Just like him, if he really wanted a car, he could easily call one from Sweet Potato Films or from his own connections. But as Lin Ruxian said, it felt a bit awkward to bother someone at this late hour.
Given that, Li Hong hadn’t called for a ride. It turned out that Lin Ruxian thought similarly.
Since there were no issues with her identity and her appearance could easily be found online, there was no need for her to deceive Li Hong.
Thus, Li Hong began to seriously consider Lin Ruxian’s earlier proposal.
Directly granting her team a spot in the LPL wasn’t out of the question. As long as Li Hong communicated well with the representatives from AE Alliance’s LPL club, he believed they would agree.
A team composed entirely of female players would attract significant attention to the LPL League; those club members were smart enough to understand that.
Li Hong's only concern had been that promoting this Women’s Team might lead to poor performance on their part. That would make things difficult for him and tarnish the reputation of the LPL.
After all, in the world of esports, performance always speaks volumes. If you play well, you can ignore all the rumors. If you don't, you'll attract countless criticisms.
Now, Li Hong had finally made up her mind; this Women's Team could be promoted without following the usual protocols.
With Lin Ruxian from the entertainment industry backing them, the strength of this Women's Team would surely not be lacking. In this situation, Li Hong no longer had to worry about the criticisms that might arise from the promotion; at least, the pressure was significantly reduced.
"Alright, I agree to promote your Women's Team directly to the LPL League. However, you still need to adhere to the league's promotion and relegation system. Once you're up there, whether you can stay will depend on your own abilities," Li Hong stated.
Since there were no concerns about performance and strength, Li Hong could elevate them to the LPL for the sake of the league's appeal and attention.
"No problem!"
Lin Ruxian nodded and said, "Don't worry, once we enter the LPL, we won't fall back down. In fact, if it weren't for the hassle of being promoted step by step, I wouldn't even consider taking shortcuts."
Taking shortcuts?
"Uh..." Li Hong had to admit that when she heard Lin Ruxian mention taking shortcuts, her mind wandered uncontrollably.
Fortunately, she knew this wasn't an appropriate occasion for such thoughts and managed to rein in her wicked imagination.
"Well then, after your team is established, you can submit your application to the AE Alliance. Once approved, you'll be able to compete as an LPL team," Li Hong nodded in agreement.
Such a significant matter affecting the entire LPL Region couldn't be decided by just him alone, even though he was the boss at Riot. The final outcome would still need to be discussed and confirmed at the AE Alliance Conference.
However, Li Hong was confident he could persuade those club representatives. Just like before, adding this Women's Team would be beneficial for the league. Such good news was something everyone would welcome; how could they possibly oppose it?
After all, having one more club in the league simply meant one more round of matches. As long as it didn't affect World Championship slots, these people wouldn't have any objections.
Receiving a clear response from Li Hong, Lin Ruxian revealed a sweet smile of satisfaction.
"Don't worry, we will submit the application right away."
Upon hearing this, Li Hong curiously asked, "Do you have your team members? And what about the training base?"
As the highest authority of the Goddess Alliance, Li Hong had the power to establish various regulations within the professional circle.
For a club to enter the highest-level League in each competition area, it must not only meet performance requirements but also have at least five participants and a mature training base.
These measures were designed to eliminate unqualified clubs and ensure the entertainment value of the competitions.
Perhaps some of those eliminated clubs played quite well. However, they did not contribute positively to the professionalization process of the Goddess Alliance. So even if they performed decently, they would still have to exit quietly.
Lin Ruxian's Women's Team was likely just an idea at this point; they didn't even have a training base or team members. Even if she had already agreed, Li Hong wouldn't dare to promote them at this moment.
At the very least, they needed to have their training base and team members ready before applying.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruxian said, "You don't need to worry about that. I have already formed the team. I was just concerned that the Women's Team might face rejection from the Official side, which is why I hadn't announced it earlier. Since you represent the Official and have no objections, I can confidently announce it now. We are all set with our training base and team members."
"What's the name of your team?" Li Hong asked thoughtfully while stroking her chin.
Now that Lin Ruxian was prepared, he felt much more at ease. He was curious about what name Lin Ruxian would choose for this Women's Team.
Fairy Club? Goddess Club?
Lin Ruxian smiled sweetly and explained, "I’m just going with the flow; I don’t plan to be unique or different. It’s simply going to be called the Seven Fairies Squad."
“Seven Fairies Club?” Li Hong's lips twitched, feeling both amused and exasperated.
What kind of name is that? Seven fairies, when there are clearly only five members in the team?
“Are you wondering why there are only five members but it's called the Seven Fairies?” Lin Ruxian asked, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
Li Hong nodded and quietly awaited Lin Ruxian's explanation.
“Are you silly? As the boss, I count as a fairy, right? Plus, our general manager and head coach is also a pretty girl. That makes seven fairies!” Lin Ruxian explained with a smile.
“I think that's inappropriate; it should be called the Eight Fairies instead!” Li Hong said seriously.
Lin Ruxian raised an eyebrow, confused. “Huh?”
“Think about it; the cooking auntie is also a woman, so that makes it eight fairies!”
